Our mission is to provide locally

grown, nutritious produce while

funding short-term mission projects.

In 2013, we launched a 1.5 acre vegetable farm three miles south of Pella.

In 2017, we have 60 shares for sale with

extra produce grown for the Pella Food

Shelf.

A Note About

(The short-term missions group that Sprigs ‘n Sprouts seeks to fund)

For about $8,000 in materials, this

family received an 800 square foot home with two

small bedrooms, a living area, and a

roughed-in bathroom.

Meet the

Valle Family.

We were privileged to fund the cost of the

construction materials that the team used to

build this home in 2015.

Since 1998, a passionate people from the Pella area have been partnering with Door of Faith Orphanage to share the love of Christ through the ministry of

building homes in La Mision, Baja California, Mexico. Representatives of more than a dozen churches around central Iowa have partnered with Third

Reformed Church and Baja 201. To date, more than 1,000 short-term missionaries from the Pella area

have blessed 39 families with a new home, and we can’t wait to add to that number! Along the way we’ve

gotten to know our friends and neighbors a little differently as we

served and lived along

side of them. We’ve seen God at work and wrestled with our

response to poverty.

Sprigs ‘n Sprouts, a recently formed nonprofit, is offering shares in our 2016 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) garden. Shareholders receive a

weekly basket of freshly harvested produce. Enjoy more than 60 varieties of herbs, melons, and vegetables (including many heirloom varieties), and let us do the work for you. Each week from June through September, shareholders pick up a shopping basket full of ready-to-eat produce. Feed your family and impact the world as Sprigs ‘n Sprouts gives profits to purchase materials and

supplies for short-term mission projects, starting with Baja 201’s house building initiative (see back page).

Much like planting your own garden, shareholders take a risk right along with us.

Crop failure can happen due to flooding, drought, pests, or disease. While we’ll do

everything we can to prevent those events, we can’t guarantee that every crop will grow.

• organic growing practices • many heirloom varieties for optimal flavor and

powerful nutrition • 16-18 weeks, June - September • approx. 6-8 different items each week, smaller

baskets to start but abundance in later weeks • pick-up on Thursdays 4:45 to 6:00 • weekly newsletter informs you of storage tips &

recipe ideas along with the recipes on our website • see our website for a complete list -- 60+ items!

Ask about our “work for a share” arrangement as we

are expanding this opportunity in 2017.

Ask about the delivery option in 2017. For ten shareholders, we will deliver within the Pella City limits, preferably at a business. Those who take the delivery

option miss out on the bonus table items but don’t have to worry about making basket pick-up times.

New in 2017…
