Salt of the Earth (SOTE)
For seven years Angela Greene has developed a community garden on the outskirts of Kansas City, Kansas. She uses this garden as a ministry and as an educational tool for the youth in her area. The program is called Salt of the Earth (SOTE): Youth Market Garden and Training Farm. It is based off of Matthew 5:13 where Jesus says “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” Although Angela’s program has been successful as it reaches more than two-hundred people in her community each year, Angela herself admits, she did not start out with a “green thumb.”
Angela and a team of volunteers work with the youth in the area to develop and grow a bountiful garden that is shared by many in the community. However, With SOTE, it doesn’t stop there. Along with feeding the community through the garden, she also uses it as an educational opportunity for the youth and volunteers who work alongside her. This is done as they work together, improve cooperation, develop work ethics, incorporate skills of entrepreneurship, and learn how to cook with what they are growing in the garden. 
At SOTE they also harvest their own bees (for honey) and worms (for cultivation). Nothing is wasted either as they have a compost pile that they keep up with as well. All of this is done on about a quarter-of-an-acre of land. One thing that Angela loves most about the aspect of a community garden is that it is a great “visual” for the public eye.
