Our Story
Hope Grows International was born from a family trip to Costa Rica in 2005, where the harsh reality of child exploitation ignited a passion for change. Through extensive research, the founders discovered the potential of Aquaponics—a sustainable farming method that combines fish and vegetables to nourish communities. This innovative approach not only addresses food scarcity but also opens doors for Gospel outreach. Operating from Eden Gardens in Jacksonville, FL, the mission is clear: to transform lives through sustainable agriculture.
