Since 2005, Earthshare Gardens provides education, inspiration and, not least, high-quality food to the Acadiana region.
A nonprofit community organization and 1.5 acre organic farm that's cultivated by volunteers, it provides a space for organic farmers to expand their operations, teaches members how to farm, and provides much-needed fresh, organic local produce to those who need it most.
