About Us
The purpose of the Organization is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to assist the poor and needy, including assisting needy communities with planting community gardens in order to grow their own food.
At Harvest Gardens, our mission is deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are committed to spreading the gospel and sharing His love with the world. We believe that every person deserves to hear the Good News and experience the hope, peace, and transformation that comes from knowing Christ.
In alignment with our faith, we are also dedicated to serving the poor and needy. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and it is our calling to extend that love through practical acts of kindness and service. Our outreach efforts are focused on providing assistance to those in need, whether it be through food, shelter, or other essential resources.
We fulfill our mission by helping communities establish and maintain community gardens. We believe that empowering people to grow their own food is a powerful way to address hunger and promote self-sufficiency. By equipping communities with the tools and knowledge they need to cultivate their own gardens, we are not only providing immediate relief but also fostering long-term sustainability.
We are committed to teaching BioIntensive Farming techniques in communities and refugee camps. This method provides sustainable food and industry solutions, enabling those in need to build a future filled with hope and opportunity. Alongside these practical solutions, we share the beautiful Gospel of Jesus Christ, offering spiritual nourishment and the promise of eternal life.
Through these initiatives, we see God’s provision at work—turning barren soil into a fruitful harvest, bringing communities together in unity and purpose, and restoring hope where it is needed most. It is our joy to witness the transformation that occurs when people come together, inspired by Christ’s love, to care for one another and the earth He created.
At Harvest Gardens, we are more than just a nonprofit; we are a family of believers committed to making a difference in the world for God’s glory. We invite you to join us in this mission, whether through prayer, volunteering, or financial support. Together, we can continue to spread the love of Christ and bring hope to those who need it most.

A Letter From Our President
I am writing to express my wholehearted endorsement for Harvest Gardens, a visionary initiative focused on establishing gardens and cultivating medicinal plants across the global south. As someone deeply committed to sustainable development and community empowerment, I believe this project holds tremendous potential for fostering growth, health, and prosperity in local communities.
The impact of the Harvest Gardens project extends beyond immediate nutritional and medicinal benefits. It represents a holistic approach to development, integrating education, economic opportunity, and environmental stewardship. By empowering local farmers and communities, this project aligns with the broader goals of sustainable development and poverty alleviation.
