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 is a haven for pollinators, thoughtfully cultivated with organically grown blossoms that support the health of bees, butterflies, and other vital creatures. Our blooms are grown with intention nurturing the ecosystem that sustains the produce feeding our community. Flowers bring joy and wonder, not just to people, but to the natural world around us. We hope to inspire this appreciation for nature 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. |
