Homeless Will Have Opportunity to Work on Goshen Farm

By Press Release

GOSHEN – The owner of the Bruised Reed Farms in Goshen has entered into an agreement allowing Cape Hope to have its clients farm about five acres of land.
According to a release, at the June 18 Cape Hope board meeting, members signed a contract with the farm owner to allow Cape Hope to use the farm as a work site for clients experiencing homelessness.
The longtime family-operated farm is in the possession of a sole family member, who wished to remain anonymous. Previously, the farm had an agreement, with another non-profit, but since then the work stopped.
The owner was hoping to be able to resume farming the property when the subject came up with Cape Hope Director Denise South, who proposed accepting volunteer labor from individuals who are being helped through Cape Hope programs.
The agreement will benefit Cape Hope, which will be able to provide work experience and an educational site for those experiencing homelessness, and will continue to allow Bruised Reed Farms to operate as a small farm.
Cape Hope is anticipating putting in a late, low-maintenance crop to get the farm started.
