Interested in serving others? Then you need Nazareth Farm on your bucket list. It is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it. I grew up in Flushing, Queens, which is one of the boroughs of New York City. While it didn’t have the skyscrapers of Manhattan, it certainly was not rural. I was a city kid.
