Questions?  Email Judy at [email protected] About the New Hope International Farm The New Hope International Farm was established in the spring of 2017 on the property of the Passionist Earth and Spirit Center.  It is the agriculture program of New Hope International.  Since 2017, over 14 farmers from Burundi and Congo have managed the property as a community farm.  The farm is made of up several plots that total 1 acre of land around the Passionist property and includes vegetable production, bee hives, and two high tunnels.  The farmers mostly grow intore (an African eggplant), mchicha (a green in the amaranth family that's similar to spinach), and cassava for their families and community.  They also grow food for the Earth and Spirit Center's Camp Nature Odyssey during the summer.
