Jones Valley Teaching Farm: Roots on the Ground

Join us for a picnic on Jones Valley Teaching Farm’s downtown farm while supporting
the Community Garden Project Fund! Each year, this fund provides grants to new and
emerging community gardeners who have completed our Good Community Food
Fellowship. Since 2021, it has helped build and expand 9 community gardens across
Alabama!

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the farm with: a delicious picnic buffet, line dancing lessons, garden updates, and a silent auction. Bring a blanket or a lawn chair, raise a glass, & settle in for a meal among the crops. We can’t wait to see you there!

“JVTF has made a life enhancing impact on my personal life, profession, and community work. I appreciate the family and community spirit of all activities that I have experienced from the fellowship, Cooking with Families, wreath making workshop, and more. I am mindful and intentional in duplicating this energy and feelings as I work alongside my neighbors to develop The Huffman Community Garden.”
