» Monarch Beverage and Lawrence Community Gardens are teaming up to farm six acres of undeveloped land, donating the produce to local food pantries and area residents with limited access to grocery stores. According to the Indianapolis Star, Sharrona Moore, director of the Lawrence gardens, approached Monarch CEO Phil Terry about the idea for the property at 46th Street and Post Road, and Terry immediately said yes. The first harvest of the project is expected to be ready in May.

1/4 is ready for the next round of plants to go in the ground thanks to Monarch Beverage’s Day of Service! Volunteers planted an entire acre of oats, spread compost and wood chips and created 50ft rows for our “you pick for free” section. We are still looking for volunteers and donations to complete the rest of the 2 acres for donations to the food pantries and on site farm stand!! Please find us as www.LawrenceCommunityGardens.org to sign up to volunteer and or donate to your mission to building up our community with fresh organic produce! Healthier people make healthier choices! #purdueurbanag #monarchbeverage #motherlovesgardens #chickadeefarms #LCGgrowsFood
