Ripley's Garden for Others

Website

Ripley's Garden for Others Thomas & Dawn Ripley started off with a 1,300 sq/ft garden in their back yard. It didn't take long for the produce to overwhelm their freezer's capacity.

They canned a bunch, ran out of storage space, and started donating the overflow to their local food pantry in Caldwell, ID. It was the only fresh produce the families and pensioners who rely on that organization got. Inspired by the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from giving, Thomas wrote to the Awesome Foundation with a proposition:


The $1,000 was used to buy a small used tractor. In 2011, their garden will be 18,000 sq/ft. (14x garden space = 14x more food for the hungry!!!)
