OUR PROGRAMS
OUR IMPACT AREAS
CHILDREN’S EDUCATION
Education for eaters ignites curiosity and excitement for planting, harvesting, cooking, and experiencing nourishing meals and creates a well-balanced understanding of our food system.
FARM TO FOOD PANTRY
The food we grow is channeled through our CSA, market, and donated to local food pantries including senior centers and children's museums.
FARMER APPRENTICESHIP
Training new farmers is the core of our work. As more than 50% of farmers retire in the next decade, we are increasing the number of paid, trained farmers to create a more robust and resilient food system.
