While harvesting the produce at Animal Acres garden this week we discovered that food had been stolen.

This was very discouraging as we have worked all season to ensure a good harvest and because the food is donated to a worthy cause.

Luckily we have much community support and we are grateful.

Below is a statement from Chief Stephen Sutton of LFP Police which we felt was important to share.

"Community members here in Lake Forest Park have been excellent stewards of our public land. At Animal Acres Park for instance, they have created a Master Gardener Demo Garden, whereby all of the food goes to POPY'S Cafe located at the Prince of Peace Church. 

"Unfortunately, someone has been stealing food from the garden. I urge our community to be respectful of this great service to the community."
