The Lord's Acre Breaks Ground

March 2009: This winter The Lord's Acre has been indoors as the hard-working committee works to make the dream of a garden for the hungry a reality. Next thing we knew it was spring and we bumped up against the reality of soil that needed turning. Here, garden neighbor and long-time Fairview resident June Grimes lends his tractor, equipment and expertise to the task.  
Young volunteer, Gabriel McNair helps pick rocks out of the just-turned field.
