Since 2011, Harvest Moon Edible Landscapes has been partnering with Shir Tikvah to sustainably grow organic vegetables and herbs, 100% of which is donated to local food shelves and pantries, to ensure the blessings of beautiful, fresh produce directly benefits those in our community who are most in need. 

We started with a 10 ft x10 ft plot and have quadrupled in size to fill up the entire southeast corner of our lot off of Girard Ave! With the help of volunteers, food justice interns, and community members, the Shir Tikvah garden has harvested up to 500 lbs of produce annually, which has been donated to The Aliveness Project in Minneapolis, as well as Keystone and Hallie Q Brown food shelves in St. Paul. Crops have included cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, mint, oregano, kale, squash, zucchini, celery, onion, carrots, beans, and beets. We always also include flowers like zinnias and sunflowers to beautify and attract pollinators to the garden.
