Bethlehem Farms At Maple Grove

Bethlehem Farms At Maple Grove We are an Urban Farm dedicated to raising quality produce for hungry people. This year we have been supporting Operation Love's food pantry and the church.

"PLANT SEEDS, GROW FOOD, WATCH GOD WORK"
Bethlehem Farms is an outreach ministry of Maple Grove Church of God. Our goal is to produce quality vegetables to feed hungry people. In 2017 we began to use the fallow land next to our church as a garden. A small group worked to raise vegetables for the church and some local daycare facilities. From that small plot it has grown into a small urban farm. Be

thlehem Farms is one way we steward God's creation and His gift of life and land. Today we have 32 rows of vegetables on drip lines. these 40 foot rows are planted in green beans, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, turnips and squash. We have a cold box with radishes and then carrots. Around the garden we have Sunflowers, birdhouse gourds, buck wheat and other flowers. In 2020 we added a Lavender Prayer Path. This will provide a place of solitude, reflection, beauty and prayer. The Prayer Path is based on the Traditional Christian Labyrinth pattern.
2021 saw us open Praise Bees Apiary. We have 3 hives of bees working to pollinate and produce honey. These hives are a wonder of coordinated work that are amazing to watch. We partner with local organizations like Operation Love to provide fresh produce for their food pantry.. We are open to working with those who would like to volunteer and be a part of this exciting adventure. Come join us as we Plant seeds, Grow food and Watch God Work.

Our Story

Bethlehem Farms 2018

We have reopened Bethlehem Farms and are looking forward to a new season and a new opportunity to provide fresh food for our family and our neighbors. We have adjusted our plans based off of our previous experiences and learning. We are having a 3-prong approach to the farm that will provide a wholesome and holistic nourishment. The first section is our Vegetable Plot. We have reploughed the original 4 garden beds into 1 large bed. We will be planting it in 4 sections with Pumpkins, Peppers, Green beans and Zucchini. These vegetables will be available to the church family and to our neighbors.

The second prong is to develop a Berry Plot. In this area we want to plant Blackberries, Raspberries and Blueberries. These bushes once established will provide regular seasonal fruit. They may take a few years to get firmly in place but then will provide fruit for years to come.
