Welcome to the Table.  It's not my table, or your table.  It's everyone's table.  But, not everyone has the same kind of access to "the table." 

This podcast highlights the stories of people who are helping to end hunger.  It is a project of Healing Springs Acres, a small farm where we grow food to give away: Planting Generosity, Providing Food, Proclaiming That Others Can Do The Same.

We've said from the beginning that the solution to ending hunger is not for our farm to get bigger and bigger but, for more and more people to start their own projects in their own communities to help end hunger, build more just and resilient local food systems, and to help more people have the experience of, "Welcome to the Table!"

This podcast highlights the stories of people who are helping to end hunger.
