Our mission is to empower youth through the shared work of farming to grow food for partner organizations who distribute this food to families in need. Through growing vegetables and raising livestock on our notill farm we provide alternative education and avenues of employment to youth who have barriers to thriving within traditional systems and teach personal responsibility social responsibility and professional skills. The daytoday work of farming offers many opportunities for building personal and social responsibility. As youth gain confidence and competence in the work we trust them to steward the care of crops and livestock alike and as a result develop a sense of responsibility and investment in the outcomes.
