Strategy Phase 1  Strategy Phase 2

Green Life Farm Plan Green Life Farm wants to help change the future of neglected children in St. Mary by teaching them to live self-sufficiently and competitively in a global market where natural resource consumption is limited. We believe that we have a plan that will not only train up our children to be successful and restore St. Mary as the capital of agriculture, but also become an eco-tourism business for our region.

Here's how it works... If a farmer is farming at least a quarter of an acre, and wants to become part of the "Green Life Farm" label, they would apply through a local micro-loan program. A team of experts qualified in slow-drip irrigation, as well as organic farming, would visit the farmer and conduct what we call an 'informal interview'. We want our farmers to understand that this is a change in how they currently farm, and not just a season for growing something new.

Once we determine they are Green Life Farm candidates, we proceed with teaching them the basics of growing naturally without toxins, using a continual drip system that will insure they won't face drought again. This in itself is something that most St. Mary farmers have desired but have not been able to visualize due to the economic restraints.

Year-Round Farming
We are expanding the farmers' knowledge regarding which types of vegetables can grow in our climate 12 months per year. Most of our farmers are excited about sharing this wealth of information with their neighbors and also the public schools and other organizations in the area.
