Kathy Siegfried Wilson, Gate of Hope board member involved with farm operations, shares about a resurgence occurring in the west end of Louisville as E. African refugees are doing what they know and love best — growing healthy and nourishing vegetables for their families and surrounding community. It is making healthy produce available to the Shively area which had been a food desert with few grocery stores in the vicinity. The Lord made a way to irrigate the 19 acres of land through a solar powered water pump — just in time for the current heat wave!

On the ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by St Matthews Chamber of Commerce inaugurating this important moment — the Gosheni Farming community celebrates irrigation on the land where their crops can now thrive. Refugees know how to grow food, and staying close to the land is helping them build community here as well as heal from past trauma. We are so thankful for the many contributors who made this day possible
