Over the years, it has become known for its dedication to equity, social justice, and the intentional cultivation of relationships within the community.

Practices

The farm's practices are deeply rooted in principles of equity, social justice, and intentionality, ensuring that every step taken is mindful and inclusive. Volunteers play a crucial role in the farm's operations, directly influencing the amount of food produced and distributed.
The Rest
