Harvesting from the farm

 
 

Pastor: Orlando and Jonnely Rodriguez

The donations to this project go to the cost of a community farm. The crops harvested are distributed to locals of the community as well as community centers for children, the elderly, and single mothers.

The farm produces corn, beans, onions, peppers, tomatoes, squash, and yucca. In December 2023 it produced 3,000 pounds of rice to distribute to the community. Rice, sugar, milk, and protein are expensive in Cuba, especially now that the government no longer subsidizes these basic foods.

Recently, the government requested help from UN World Food Program for the first time to provide milk to the children and the elderly of Cuba because food is so scarce.
