Edible Forest

Our Edible Forest

 

Edbile forest - vegetable garden

 

Our edible forest applies the principles of ecology to mimic a forest ecosystem that provides a sustainable system offering food, fun, treats and delicious healthy goodness.

 

 

We are combating global issues while enlightening and empowering our youth. Our edible forest offers practicality and teaches us how to live interdependently without exhausting our resources.

In our society today, 1 in 3 children are on a fast track to develop Type 2 Diabetes. And an overwhelming majority of the children in our cities have never actually taken part in cultivating healthy food. Loving Hands Children’s home wants to introduce children to “Our Edible Forest” and contribute to teaching healthy nutrition.

In my own personal life, I was an adult before I met and fell in love with my first chicken, pig or goat… or realized how diet, life style choices and healthy symbiotic relationships with nature really affected my life and world. Our aim is to teach children about natural, healthy, clean food choices which will lend itself to better life choices as they grow and continue to learn. It all begins now, with our children and education. This enables minds to open and grow for a better tomorrow.

"Amazing young lady & organization with a great vision! Keep up the good work!" ~ W. Watters

"Loving Hand has been nothing but beneficial for me and my future. They taught us the ins & outs about laundry. Even going into details about the tags on your clothes and telling us what each symbol meant. That was just one of the many classes I attended. Every class had meaning & were intended to enhance your future. Another facet of the class was if you participated and showed you were actually learning something they would reward you with a gift card. At the time i was attending these classes i was staying in a shelter. Those gift cards did so much for me. I cant put it into words how grateful I am for them. Not only was I learning new things but i was getting compensated for learning new things. Loving Hands was such a blessing to me I cant thank them enough. But there generosity didn't stop there. Recently i just moved into my new place. When I informed loving hands that i got a new place they decided to bless me even more with providing me stuff like utensils and art. Im definitely selling it short they went all out. I didn't really get anything for Christmas but Loving hands made me feel like a kid on Christmas morning with all the things they provided for me.

Loving hands thank you again for giving me this op-portunity. Words can't express how grateful I am!

"This is SO needed! God bless you all! I hope this program is encouragement for others to follow suit!" ~ S. VanTobel

"I am now a young adult who grew up in foster care. I took advantage of the Loving Hands Youth Empowerment Series. I had not previously been taught the importance of Credit or how to compose a resume, and I am ashamed to say that I could not successfully do laundry without damaging my clothing or prepare a healthy meal! These are life skills that all youth need and I was able to acquire with Loving Hands Children’s Home. I sincerely Thank You. This program series is an asset to youth."
