Today we welcomed the CEO, executive team, and board members of Feed The Children to Growing for Good Farm at the Harvest Commons Agricultural District in Spencer, Oklahoma.

We walked the land, talked about faith, shared our mission and dug into what it really takes to feed families while building community capital here in Oklahoma. The questions Feed The Children asked and the encouragement they offered reminded me that this work is seen, valued, and deeply needed.

Grateful for every conversation and every seed planted on this soil, today. 🌱🙏🏾

Announcement 📣 We have an update on the June 13th Community Harvest Day.

We made the decision to reschedule our first Community Harvest Day at Growing for Good Farm. Originally set for June 13th, we are moving it to Saturday, July 11th from 9 AM to 2 PM at the farm in Spencer.

Here’s the honest reason: after the unexpected cold temperatures atee the April frost date,, we lost a significant number of our transplants. Between that setback and some delays we experienced with USDA funding, our harvest just is not where it needs to be to give you the experience this farm deserves to offer. We are not going to invite our community out and not be ready. That is not how we operate.

But July 11th? We are building something worth showing up for.

By then we plan to have fresh harvest available straight from the farm, local growers on site selling homegrown goods, volunteer opportunities to get your hands in the work alongside us, and farm tours so you can see everything we have been building out here.

This is going to be a real community day and a chance to be part of what is growing here.
If you want to volunteer, reach out to us directly or sign up at growingforgoodfarm.com. We would love to have you.

Mark your calendars. July 11th. 9 AM to 2 PM. Growing for Good Farm, Spencer, Oklahoma.
We will see you out here.

Most people think of loofah as a bath sponge ✨ but did you know it’s actually a plant you can eat when it’s young 🌱

That’s right loofah comes from the gourd family and before it becomes the fibrous scrub we know in the shower it can be cooked like a vegetable in soups stir fries and other dishes 🍲

It’s one of those surprising farm to table foods that makes you do a double take 🚜 Have you ever seen loofah in a meal before 💬

Do You See Our Loofahs? 😄 The loofahs are really coming along out here on the farm. The vines are climbing, more blossoms are showing up and we’re seeing more gourds starting to form.

It’s been about a month and a half and watching this much growth has been a really cool part of the season.

I even tasted one of the young loofah and it honestly surprised me. It had a zucchini-like flavor with a cucumber-style texture and it was really good. I’m already thinking about trying a recipe with toasted onions, garlic, and seasoning.

We’re excited to keep watching them grow and to share more as harvest season gets closer. Late August and early September should be a great time for the loofah to dry down and become ready for the community.
