from garden to pantry
The Shepherd's Garden
St. John's is also home to The Shepherd's Garden, a kitchen garden grown with love for our neighbors. Volunteers help plant, tend, harvest, and deliver fresh vegetables directly to The Shepherd's Market, providing pantry clients with nourishing produce alongside other grocery items. It's a hands-on way to care for the community, from seed to table.
