St. Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church is opening a farmstand on the church’s five-acre site at Depot Street and Deep Lake Road.
“We have a garden here with parishioners growing their own produce in 10-foot-by-10-foot areas and we also have a donated garden area nearby. We want to provide the opportunity for our parishioners to grow their own food and to sell food locally,” said Pastor Timothy Squier.
. . .
“My goal is to have this church be a player in promoting locally grown produce and at some point possibly expand our efforts by starting a co-op for locally raised meats.”

“Our motto is we are located where heaven and earth meet and where the wind always blows”
