Reap What You Organically Sow

Living Hope Farm in Harleysville offers a different type of community gardening.

For Jill Landes, a little bit of hope reaps some wondrous fruits. "It felt like God was opening a whole lot of doors." Landes said. "I felt passionate about the organic thing, the land use, and they were going to work this into a new ministry of the Franconia Conference. I was in; I wanted to do this."

Virago Baking Company Overview: Virago Baking Company is the premier eatery for vegan, gluten-free and all-natural healthy food.
