Ubicados en el hermoso Philip Lauter Park en Willimantic se encuentran nuestro propio huerto, el Thread City Family Garden y también el huerto comunitario de WAIM al que también apoyamos.

el Huerto Familiar de Thread City/ Thread City Family Garden

En nuestro nuevo jardín, establecido en el 2016, crecemos frutas, vegetales y otras hierbas aromáticas para la comunidad de Windham. A través de varios métodos--unos más experimentales que otros-- el Windham Youth CORE junto a muchos otros voluntarios, proveen oportunidades para que la comunidad prepare, siembre y tome raíz (enrraice). Un coordinador del huerto organiza la participación de grupos escolares, universitarios, organizaciones, de grupos de fe, y de individuos para fortalecer la red y comunidad de agricultura urbana.

Los alimentos cultivados en el huerto benefician a muchos en el área. Una parte se dona al Covenant Soup Kitchen, otra se vende a otros comercios y restaurantes, y además otra parte importante la utilizan los jóvenes del WIndham Youth CORE para preparar sus salsas y productos.

WAIM Community Garden

The Windham Area Interfaith Ministry (WAIM) Community Garden was “created” in 1993 as a communal organic garden space for people who had no other place to exercise their growing heritage, or simply produce vegetables as a supplement to their diets or income.

Today, it consists of two sections: the “Upper Half” (90’ x 175’) is divided into twenty-four 20’x20’ plots for individual gardeners to cultivate. The individuals have full control over where the yield from their plots goes.

The lower portion of the garden (70’x100’) is the “Communal Half” — a large vegetable garden maintained by volunteers, the produce from which is donated to the Covenant Soup Kitchen and the ACCESS food bank.
