TLA is growing and we are looking for new board leaders to help us as we build upon the past 10 successful years.
Now in our tenth growing season, The Lord’s Acre continues to inspire new ways of living in community and increasing food access. We don’t buy the "giver" and "receiver" labels of charity-everyone has something to offer and something they need. What we do believe in is weaving folk’s strengths, passions, talents, and creativity into addressing issues like food security, loneliness, prejudice, and the isolation of modern society. The Lord’s Acres believes a garden and the acts of learning, growing, and eating food together can accomplish this. We believe it because we see it every day. TLA was founded on a strong value of community and building community, and the Board of Directors play an essential role in our organization.

Mission Statement
The Lord’s Acre is a diverse and open community of volunteers who grow and give away organic food. Using the garden as a platform, The Lord’s Acre is a visionary model of cooperation which educates and inspires people to address the many types of hunger through caring service and the growing and sharing of food. This is accomplished by working with schools, colleges, churches, children’s groups, similar gardens, and other organizations. The Lord’s Acre actively assists the efforts of these groups to learn gardening and develop resilient communities of their own.
Description
The Lord’s Acre was named after a renowned Great Depression era "share-what-you-grow" project. Today’s Lord’s Acre has no religious affiliation.
