A Dream to Reach 

Victory Farms started as a dream to reach and empower those who have land and do not know how to utilize it. We had been using 50 acres under a free lease for 7 years. 

We have now moved off of that property and are using another property while we look for a farm to buy to continue the vision of the farm and the bible school. We continue to learn new methods and duplicate seeds to give the expecting mothers in the Sustainable Healthy Living program, where we also teach bio-intensive home gardening, so that they can grow all the vegetables they need for a family of 6 in a garden near their home.

Victory Farms

In many countries around the world, November to March are called “Lean Season”. The time between the planting and the harvest where there is no food to eat. We intend to empower the farmer to avoid this through sustainable agriculture. This will not only provide food for their families year round, but a surplus they can sale to obtain other necessities.

The idea for Victory Farms grew from our involvement with the Sustainable Healthy Living (SHL) program of Heaven’s Reach Ministries (HRM). Heaven's Reach is a Springdale, Arkansas-based nonprofit organization that operates in Honduras. They had worked predominately with pregnant women. 

The Sustainable Healthy Living program teaches future mothers how to lead a healthy life for themselves and their family. Clients receive seeds and learn gardening techniques so that they can start their own home gardens. Growing their own produce that give them access to the vitamins and minerals they need to sustain the health of their families. 

Some of the teachers in the SHL program are knowledgeable and experienced farmers who volunteer on a part-time basis to teach farming to our clients. Victory Farms creates paid positions for these volunteers to do what they are already passionately doing. It will provide them a much-needed income. Additionally, it will create opportunities to produce seeds for the SHL.  It will experiment with new farming techniques. We will teach new findings in SHL and to local farmers. Our ultimate goal is to increase the quality and quantity of food grown by the farmers in the mountains while giving them the seed of life.

Mission Statement

Victory Farms is introducing the Word of God and sustainable farming practices for food security while providing nutritious produce to the local and national markets in Honduras.

Purpose of Victory Farms

This farm will complement and help sustain the HRM projects in Honduras and provide needed jobs, education, and economic assistance to the region.

Victory Farms will initially provide work for eight unemployed farmers. Those working with Victory Farms will learn, teach, and experiment with innovative and sustainable ways to farm to meet the unique needs of the poor in Honduras. We will seek organic solutions that will allow those in remote areas to fertilize and control pests with local resources. This will help them to improve the quantity and quality of their production. The result will be a better, more prosperous life.

Currently

Victory Farms is a 50 acre farm near La Esperanza we have loaned to us to use. We now need to move as

 the leans is ending in August 2019. Victory Farms is a demonstration farm that disciples the participants and grows food to sell while teaching sustainable agriculture. We are looking to buy land for a permanent home for Victory farms. Anner, one of the young men we have been discipled over the last few years is working with Joel one of our staff. They are has been collaborating with a program of USAID to find the best crops for the area. We are now growing those crops including green beans, corn, beans, carrots and others. 

We are currently growing carrots and corn with the funds we have until the full funding comes. These Honduran are learning land management, soil conservation, and tractor operations to start.
