Past Event April 27, 2025 | Noisy Sunday for Farm In The Dell

Messiah’s Noisy Change on Sunday, April 27 will support Farm In The Dell of the Red River Valley. Farm in the Dell is a Christian centered non-profit organization that focuses on creating community based employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Their mission is to transform disabilities into abilities.

“The most important part of why we do what we do is because we believe every person has great worth in God’s eyes, no matter what their abilities are.”

Farm In The Dell doesn’t just plant produce and flowers. Their 6 acre garden provides employment and learning opportunities which teach discipline and increase self confidence and feelings of worthiness. With guidance and instruction, they learn valuable skills working in the gardens from planting through harvest. They both acquire vocational training and learn life skills, as well as business/marketing skills They learn purposeful work that fills their spirits, sharpens their minds and cultivates joy. They also learn business/marketing skills by seeing how the garden produce gets integrated into the community. This helps them feel like they really belong to their community and supports the yearly cycle of giving. People with disabilities WANT to give back to their community and they CAN give back.

You can also become a CSA shareholder. CSA is Community Supported Agriculture is a membership that gives you & your family a variety of freshly picked vegetables once the gardens start producing. This provides immediate income for Farm in the Dell to buy seeds and begin planting. The foods are healthy, locally grown, and pesticide free, plus you have the satisfaction of knowing its origin. For more information, farminthedellrrv.org/csa.

Employees and staff are Christ centered. They are called to care for their CSA community through prayer. In their daily huddle, they pray for their shareholders and ask God’s blessing on the produce and flowers they grow. Please consider donating to support the good work that is done at Farm In The Dell. You will be supporting a community of “farmers” who find joy in their ability to serve their community.

Thank you!
