Our Mission
Growing community capacity through service learning and food security for sustainable, equitable outcomes.
ProduceOur organically grown produce focuses on a large variety of heirloom vegetables grown using regenerative agriculture practices . We strive to grow diverse produce to reconnect people with food. Our food is for the community - both for those in need and people who are able to purchase our produce. We continue to build and support local markets. |
Flower GardenThe flower garden brings beautiful, organically grown blossoms to the homes of many and is a source of income to the farm to support produce that feeds the community. Our flowers often find their way to hospice, those doing good in the community, and perhaps a stranger on the street. Flowers bring joy and wonder. We hope to inspire this in all. |
Habitat ReclamationWe have established and are maintaining a 14 acre pollinator habitat within city limits that is zoned for commercial/industrial purposes. We hope to model how community based agriculture and native, wild spaces can co-exist. From the creation of this habitat we have seen biodiversity expand exponentially and ecosystems flourish. |
OUR GOALWe are a nonprofit organization striving to promote food sovereignty, education, and love for the land. |
