Grow a Faith Garden with us.
The experience
A Faith Garden can feed a family for a year.
It's the demo farm to prove for our famer that it's not idealistic, but it's possible.
We grow a Faith Garden to reduce food fee and sell veggies to have money to pay for other fees in our farm, which helps our small farmer know they have another to farm to feed their family without chemical agriculture.

Program Details
Natural Farming Ben Tre is a demo farm.
We develop a Faith Garden to provide safe, affordable, and organic food for the farmers' family, their neighbors, and the consumers. The last point, we want to inspire a zero-waste lifestyle.
Our aim is not for people to have the ability to get more things; our aim is for people to receive God’s blessings and in turn, pass those blessings to their community.
Activities & Shift
1. Farm Work: Participate in planting, harvesting, weeding, making concoction recipes, feeding black soldier fly, join livestock feed processing, plant & disease treatment.
2. Personal Care: Kitchen recipes for health, for cleaning, for skincare.
3. Cooking: How to store our veggies
Rules
1. People have an amazing capacity for solving their own problems. So give them the
opportunity to do so.
2. Technology can help, but it isn’t the universal solution.
3. My experience isn’t necessarily transferrable to your experience.
4. Principles are more important than specifics.
5. The best starting point? Where people are.
