Benison Farms is an organization associated with St. Augustine’s and the St. Thomas’ Church that promotes service and a diverse community to provide the St. Pete community with fresh produce.

Moving forward, I will now look at all of the food I eat and realize how much work was put into growing it and how much care and time and effort was put into farming all of the food that I’m given, and how some people aren’t fortunate enough to have this.” Photo via. flickr.com/photos/shorecrest.
