Farm-To-Table Food for the Hungry in Denton, TX
People Are Going Hungry In Denton County
Here’s the Problem:
People Are Hungry
21% of people in Denton County don’t know where their next meal is going to come from.
And Can’t Afford Food
Not knowing where their food is coming from means people have to make impossible decisions—like choosing between a meal and a bill.
Which Leads to Problems
This can lead to many long term problems—including health problems—that can make someone’s situation worse.
No one should go hungry or have to eat food that causes long term problems.
We can’t imagine what it’s like to go hungry.
But we do know how to grow fruits and vegetables for those who are.
We have grown over 340,000 lbs of produce in the last thirteen years and operate the largest community garden in the U.S.
Fresh Food for Hungry Families
Families deserve to have fresh food to eat. All of the food that is grown in our garden is given to hungry families in our community.
Farm-to-Table Produce
Shiloh Field is the largest community garden in America. All of our food is locally grown and ethically sourced because you grew it.
Family Friendly Gardening Experience
Gardening is a great way to bring the family together around a hands-on activity that helps hungry people in your community.
How You Can Help
The Cornucopia Plan
Cornucopia’s are a sign of abundance and overflowing supply.
With your help, Shiloh Field can be a cornucopia of food for those who need it in our community.
Here’s the plan:
Step 1: Sign Up
Bring your gloves and a smile. This is where it all begins.
Monday, Thursday, Saturday:
8:00 - 10:00 AM
Step 2: Plant
From seeds to full plants, it all needs to be planted firmly in the ground.
You’ll get your hands dirty, learn a lot, and have a great time.
Step 3: Harvest
Harvesting fruits and vegetables is magical.
You’ll see the reward of your labor and be filled with joy knowing that everything you harvest is going to feed someone who is hungry in your community.
At Shiloh Field, we know you want to be someone who helps end hunger in your community. You want to fight hunger, but lack the knowledge and skill to grow the fruits and vegetables needed to make a lasting difference.
We believe no one should go hungry or have to eat food that causes long term problems.
We can't imagine what it's like to not know where your next meal is coming from and the frustration from feeling like you don’t know how to help.
That’s why at Shiloh Field, we grow fresh fruits and vegetables for hungry people in Denton County. We have grown over 340,000 pounds over the last tirteen years and are the largest community garden in the U.S.
We do it through The Cornucopia Plan:
1) Show up.
2) Plant.
3) Harvest.
And we need your help.
So, sign up to volunteer.
And in the meantime, watch these three free videos to learn how to be a better gardener so you no longer have to wish you knew how to end hunger, and instead, you can have the knowledge and skills to grow an abundance of fruits and vegetables to feed hundreds of people every week—with just a couple of hours of effort.
“I’ve never considered myself a gardener, but I loved harvesting the vegetables knowing they were going to feed someone in my community!”
