Richfield Community Garden “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him and his family for a lifetime.” This simple concept has been used to fight hunger in many third world countries, and yet, America is rapidly becoming a place where we are in desperate need of this philosophy. Not long ago, I ran into a person who believed that corn came from a can. The idea that corn was a plant grown in vast fields, then processed into various products (including the can of creamed corn you find at the grocery store) was like science fiction to this person. Now before any of you laugh, consider this question, “When was the last time you ate corn (or anything else) that you planted in the ground and grew to maturity?” More importantly, have your children ever seen you grow something to eat? Pastor Jeffrey Rickman Here in rural America, too many of us take that idea for granted. We see agriculture all around us, but fewer and fewer of us are actually involved in the process of growing food. What’s more, it is quite probable that the farmer you see growing wheat has never made a loaf of bread in his entire life. So why is this important? There are many of our friends and neighbors who are struggling to put food on the table. If you listen to some, this is a money problem. Yet, growing a garden takes very little money. In fact (depending on your climate), it is possible to grow almost every thing a person needs on a quarter of an acre (100’x100’). Unfortunately (even if they have the land), most people don’t know how to garden any more. Fortunately, this is a skill that can be learned, and there are individuals who are willing to help you. The good folks at the Richfield Methodist Church have cleaned up the empty lot behind their church (3rd Street North & West Latah) to provide a place for the people of that community continued on page 7.....
