We’re kicking off The Overflow with incredible momentum!
The first phase is already in full swing, with land being cleared for our garden and programs. While we’re making great strides, we’re still in need of additional funding or donated services to complete clearing, plus gravel for the driveway and parking area.
Our farm consultant, Chris Ripley, has put the final touches on an exciting garden plan, and we’re ready to watch it unfold into something truly spectacular.
The seed starter grow house has already produced over 600 plants that are ready to thrive in the Spring Garden – bringing fresh, farm-to-table goodness straight to our community!
We’ve also secured a small greenhouse as a temporary solution, but our vision is much grander—plans for larger hoop houses or greenhouses are already underway to elevate this project to be more efficient and scalable.
And here’s the big news: We’re preparing to launch pilot programs this summer, expanding throughout the fall, and going full-scale in 2026! These programs, set in nature’s playground, will offer plenty of hands-on learning opportunities for young men.
As we continue to develop the necessary infrastructure, we’re building something very special and impactful for years to come.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
