Our garden is cultivating tomorrow's community-minded leaders, deeply rooted in healthy living, educational growth and environmental stewardship. This fall Moss Haven Farm is moving more resources online to assist families with educational gardening, while also continuing to grow crops for local food pantries that feed those suffering from hunger in our community. Our Giving Garden has grown and donated over 10,000 pounds of fresh crops to North Texas Food Bank.
