About Us

Our mission extends beyond farming—we aim to foster resilience, sustainability, and a sense of purpose for all involved. We are resource gathers. Through design and delivery of food systems, promoting health and wellness opportunities, partnerships, and education, we bring people together to build a stronger, healthier, and more equitable community. At the heart of our work is the belief that food is medicine and everyone deserves access to the highest nutrient dense food.
