Neighborhood outreach. Passion is to give struggling families an opportunity to learn backyard gardening. Portion of this farm is not-for-profit, and it is one of my favorite places to be! Have you ever heard of 'Urban Cowboys'? We have them right here! Adults sign on to learn organic feed-your-family gardening.
Emphasis is teaching families they can take ownership in feeding their families for pennies when they 'grow home'. Upon 'graduating', these parents will be the newest neighborhood ambassadors for healthy family food, and can help teach more families! Can you imagine the pride in learning this skill when given this opportunity? Wow!
Mission for this outreach: To operate, promote, and demonstrate the use of organic agriculture as a vehicle for possible job training/employment, healthy ongoing family meals and community development. I'm so excited!
