About this facility

Mission
Christian business man, Aart Van Wingerden (now deceased), began Operation Double Harvest in Haiti in 1981 with the purpose of establishing an agricultural project that would reap an increase in the harvest from the land as well as a spiritual harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God. The poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti was chosen to “help people help themselves”, to instill a Christian work ethic, and to model business conduct with high integrity. In short, he had a vision to “Sow Seeds of Life” in an impoverished situation. Located in the Caribbean Sea, Haiti occupies the western one third of the island of Hispaniola and is approximately 650 miles southeast of Florida and 60 miles southeast of Cuba. The Operation Double Harvest project is located approximately one-half hour east of Port-au-Prince, near the town of Croix des Bouquets. Through Double Harvest, Inc., his family, friends, and associates continue to support and subsidize the 200 acre project consisting of a farm and the other resulting ministries: a school with a Sponsor a Child program, a medical/surgical clinic, and a benevolent housing project. Operation Double Harvest is registered in Haiti and operates under the Haitian government guidelines for Non-Government Organizations (NGOs).
