About Our Name

 
“Providence”, as defined in Webster’s 1913 dictionary, tells a lot about who we are:

Providence – (prov’ i dence) n. [L providential; cf. F. providence.  Related to provident and prudence]
  1. Timely preparation; the act of providing or preparing for future use or application; a making ready; preparation.

  2. Foresight; care; especially the foresight and care which God manifests for His creatures; hence, God Himself, regarded as exercising a constant wise presence.

  3. A manifestation of the care and superintendence which God exercises over His creatures; an event ordained by divine direction.

  4. Prudence in the management of one’s concerns; economy; frugality.
We use the term “Farms” because we have a desire to provide fresh and wholesome foods.  We use as much local food (meats, produce, herbs, etc.) from local farms as possible.  We have our own farm-like atmosphere, in spite of being in the middle of the city.
