Community Garden – Long Lake Wesleyan Church

The community garden is a ministry of our church. We plant and harvest fresh vegetables, and then prepare bags of vegetables to give to our neighbors and invite them to church. Let us know if you’d like to become involved in working in the garden, or if you’d like to receive some of the fresh produce at harvest time.

2024 is the 19th year for the Long Lake Community Garden! Chris Thompson started this ministry in 2005, when Kevin Austin was our pastor. We distribute about 15,000 lbs. food a year! We have three major events: potato planting in May, broccoli planting in June, and harvest in the fall.
