Target 1
We would like to grow enough crops to supply the school we are partnered with, with fresh produce. On a Friday, our school is encouraged to bring an extra lunch which is donated to Lourier Primary with many disadvantaged families. We would like to provide produce to them in addition to the sandwiches.
