Bo Cable – The Generous Garden Project

Bo Cable knows hunger firsthand: As a young child in Georgia, his single mother was not able to provide for him and there was rarely enough to eat. As a teen, circumstances found him living on the street for periods of time where he also went hungry. He eventually went on to a successful career in publishing, but Bo felt compelled to help others who were suffering from hunger. He began volunteering in soup kitchens and noticing that the food they gave away was canned and processed, not the fresh produce people need to stay healthy. When Bo and his family moved to South Carolina, he found an empty plot of land on which to start The Generous Garden Project. With the help of his friends, family and volunteers, they cleared the land and began growing organic produce to give to local shelters and food pantries. Since they started in 2011, The Generous Garden Project has given well over 100,000 pounds of local, organic produce to people in need.
