Beulah Acres hosted a Soil Sample Workshop under the direction of Jane Duke.  This event partnership with Elm Fork Chapter Texas Master Naturalists and Denton County Master Gardeners Association used Beulah Acres Agroforest samples for microbiology analyses and soil compaction testing.  They also studied the compost we make here at the Global Spheres Center to assess the level of beneficial microbes and fungi.  The microscopic studies confirmed how healthy our land is after years of restoration … OUR SOIL IS ALIVE!

What a joy to see the Body delight in giving to those with greater needs this holiday season.  Two local charities (Salvation Army and Our Daily Bread) have requested our help with a Coat Drive.  Therefore, on Wednesday, December 6 and Sunday, December 10, we will be accepting new and lightly worn coats to give back into our community.

As Penny Pierce and Deborah Drake also share in this video, we are blessing residents at the Denton State Supported Living Center with Christmas gifts.
