Self-sustaining gardens
designed to last a thousand years
Our Purpose
- To prepare for a future US food supply crisis
- To build numerous large food gardens in and around every community
- To create gardens on a sustainable model, one that can last a thousand years
We envision Millennial Food Gardens in every community in the United States. Instead of thousands of family farms going out of business, our country will benefit from thousands of new family-sponsored Millennial Food Gardens that will provide increased produce for everyone’s community in times of need.
Achieving Millennial Food Gardens’ Sustainable and Perpetual Success
The magic to our “Large Garden” model is the coupling of each garden to an already existing hard asset revenue source. We will set up an income-producing hard-asset investment fund / endowment for each garden. The revenue generated will help maintain and grow each of our Millennial Food Gardens that are designed to be successful for a thousand years.
Millennial Food Gardens will grow and develop each year based on its increasing food production capabilities.
Initially (until there is a supply chain crisis), the fruits and vegetables harvested from Millennial Food Gardens will be distributed to local food banks, pantries, homeless shelters, schools, hospitals and selected non-profit organizations providing food distribution to the most needy in our communities.
Long term, our goal is to develop thousands of Millennial Food Gardens that will provide a backup of critically needed food supply in the event of natural or man-made disasters. We intend to develop these Millennial Food Gardens to be self-sustaining and to thrive indefinitely through the next millennium.
We support the Food for Everyone Foundation.
What are the Benefits of Hydroponic Gardening?
Hydroponic gardening is the production of plants in any climate, under any soil conditions. Recent innovations in hydroponic agriculture have removed many of the unnecessary components of traditional farming.
Hydroponic gardening produces high yields:
- lettuce: 300 to 400 tons per acre
- potatoes: 60 to 70 tons per acre
- tomatoes: 180 to 200 tons per acre
- beans: about 21 tons per acre
Where Will These Hydroponic
Millennial Food Gardens Be Located?
The American Foundation will begin developing Millennial Food Gardens in any state that the donor desires. Sponsors and their families can help us in the selection process.
In addition to the efficiency of the hydroponics agricultural model, each garden will maintain its own water supply and develop other energy needs. Our gardens will build cellars to store food, water, and seed to cover a 10-year supply.
We use the best gardening techniques in our program as described in the Mittleider Gardening Method.
A special thanks to the Bonnie Plants Foundation for partnering with us. We value your assistance.
