Victory Garden Tour
40 people showed up for our victory vegetable garden tour! We traveled in a caravan to several gardens throughout the New Port Richey area to show off how you can start growing your own food today! We have decided to host these tours every quarter if you missed this one make sure to attend the next on sometime in Summer then again in Fall/Winter. All the pictures can be found on our facebook page and meet-up. Victory vegetable garden tour

Membership Meeting
The members of the co-op came together to host a meeting. We talked about the history of the co-op and started to envision a road map forward that we hope to release to everyone in the future as a well put together plan of action you can help volunteer to see happen. Some big ideas placed forward is in a years time having over 100 growers and hundreds of local products. Multiple pick up locations, Times, and days throughout both Pasco and Pinellas. A farmers market feeling at the Habitat store where we will have more hang out sessions and free education for the community to begin learning how to grow their own food. More outreach to the community about our co-op and how they can get involved. Later down the road 2-3 years out we can imagine getting our own retail location or farm growing food directly for our membership. What can you envision the co-op moving forward growing into? Please share your vision with us and participate by becoming a member today.
