Growing Food. Sharing Hope.

We are so excited to be partnering with Noah Sander's Redeeming the Dirt Academy and Foundations for Farming to bring the Well-Watered Garden (WWG) Project to New Jersey.


The Well-Watered Garden Project seeks to equip and multiply Christians to be Champions for Jesus through planting simple gardens and training others. A WWG is a simple, productive garden that enables anyone to grow their own food while glorifying God and sharing the hope of Jesus. The foundation of the WWG Project is Jesus' heart for the poor and a desire to see the hungry fed, and the hurting given hope. The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.

Just as the training offered by Redeeming the Dirt Academy in Alabama, students of this course will obtain:

  • practical training in gardening and homesteading from a Christian perspective

  • next steps on where to go next on this agricultural journey

  • community with like-minded people who can encourage and help you

  • the ability to impact your community with the hope of Christ

  • confidence to overcome failures, trials, and stressed family relationships

Many of us have dealt with similar challenges or are currently struggling with them. It is our desire to help those in need by teaching the knowledge of gardening, the love for Jesus, and the hope it cultivates through an intensive 2 day course.

“. . . make it your ambition to live quietly, to mind your own business and to earn your living by your own efforts — just as we told you. Then your daily life will gain the respect of outsiders, and you will not be dependent on anyone.”
