Join us for our Open House Tour at Eden Gardens on Saturday, November 16th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Experience a guided tour of our growing systems, harvest seasonal produce, and enjoy a complimentary cup of Eden Gardens coffee along the way.

We’re featuring Moringa – often referred to as the “Miracle Tree” for its remarkable health benefits.

We cultivate Moringa in our food forests. By planting Moringa alongside our fruit trees, we create a sustainable ecosystem where this hardy tree offers shade, while also enriching the soil and providing an abundance of health-boosting leaves for us and our fish and chickens.

At 10:30 AM, come learn how we incorporate Moringa into our food forests. We’ll demonstrate pruning techniques for preparing it before winter and show you how to harvest and preserve its nutrient-packed leaves for year-round use.

Roselle Hibiscus is in season! We want to share this easy to grow Fall favorite with you this Saturday for our Open House Tour.

We start roselle hibiscus from seed in the spring. By fall, it becomes a beautiful bush with vibrant flowers and calyxes. We harvest the calyxes to make tea, syrup, jam, and a cranberry sauce alternative.

Free samples of our freshly harvested hibiscus tea will be available at the farm stand.

We will not be having Volunteer Day this Thursday due to the storm. Please stay safe & we’ll see you next Thursday.

Join us next (not this) Saturday, January 20th, from 9:00-12:00 for our weekly open house where we'll be offering pick-your-own 2-3lb tilapias served live on ice, directly from our aquaponics greenhouses for a donation of $5/lb which will go directly towards supporting our mission on the farm.

All our fish were born and raised right here by our staff and are fed with organic fish pellets and moringa leaves. They turn that into plant food that feeds our lettuce and other greens. Now that we have too many of them, they'll get a chance to feed *you*.

Merry Christmas from our farm family!

What a great way to connect with this incredible community of farmers, gardeners, & forever learners.

Thank you to everyone who came out today.

Creating Change

We sit on 120 acres in NW Jacksonville, Fl. We are working on building a self-sustaining eco-farm that will help train and feed thousands. We will provide fresh organic food to those who need it most at a low cost through our community farmer’s market or for free through our work-4-food program.

The vision of Eden Garden’s can be divided into three main focuses:

Community Focus

Our neighbors are the primary beneficiaries of the work we do. Through our community farmer’s market, they have the ability to purchase healthy food. Our work-4-food program will not only teach people about how to tend their own gardens, but give them the ability to receive free food through working on the farm.
