Banker Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside in Pittstown,New Jersey,seven years ago. Surrounded by working farms,he quickly became interested in the grow-it-yourself idea and rented a piece of 30-by-30-foot land. He planted tomatoes,eggplants and other vegetables — enough to feed his family of four for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldn't give it away. He found a local food factory,donated(捐赠) 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.
The following year,with a handful of volunteers and a memorable name — America,s Grow-a-Row,Paillex harvested 1,500 pounds of fresh vegetables,all of which he donated to area food banks,places that give food,to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land. He visited Meredith and Jeremy Compton,who farm Peaceful Valley Orchards in Pittstown. Could he work their land?
“I guess we were feeling honored,” says Meredith. Not only do the Comptons weleome Grow-a-Row volunteers,they also work on the land.
What began with a few empty fields has turned into a large local farm. This year,Grow-a-Row will deliver about 250,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks. Their secret for getting all of this done? Family power. “Each week,a couple of families ‘own’ the garden,” says Paillex. “They water,pick,and deliver,and then hand it off on Sunday night to the next group of families."
Paillex also welcomes local school kids. On a Friday morning in May,some kids worked on a field. “We’ re growing food,” one fifth grader said proudly.
“The program shows kids that there are people in need,” says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrow's leaders,they’ 11 be much more likely to encourage their co-workers or employees to get involved in(参与) something like this."
“Chip makes people want to help,” says Colleen Duerr,a mother of two. “And families love this. Chip has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart."
