This is a great resource that I have found to help us learn how to help people grow food in their yards using permaculture techniques. https://www.tenthacrefarm.com/
We will demonstrate all the things that we will teach at the village. We will make a right livelihood by consulting with people as well as doing the actual work for people at a reasonable price. We will help churches have food forests and supply fresh food for their congregants and food banks. We will have training to teach people how to do the work we are doing so they will have a right livelihood.
