VERO BEACH — An hour before the Whale of a Sale event ended on March 15, Camp Haven had already sold out of its organically grown herbs and varieties of lettuce. People lined up from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. to grab their bag of these goodies that have been grown in Camp Haven’s hydroponic garden.
“You’d pay an arm and a leg for organic food like this at the local grocery store!” one patron excitedly remarked.
Donated by Lauren’s Way and maintained daily by its residents, Camp Haven’s hydroponic garden is an environmentally friendly and sustainable method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water without the need for soil.
“Our residents are enjoying the fruits of their labor and excited to share them with the community,” said Camp Haven’s Board President Lalita Janke.
To ensure the success of Camp Haven’s project for the homeless, it needs continuous support from the community.
