    the earth and to tend
    the soil is to forget ourselves.

    Making fresh, healthy, local food accessible to ALL!

    We are all about more access to fresh,  healthy foods, supporting local farms and gardens, and creating opportunities for people of all socioeconomic levels to eat fresh local food. Visit us at the farm, the farmers market, or let us help you create your own  mini-farm right in your own yard! Come to a potluck and meet people who think good food is for everyone! Learn skills of community food production at one of our workshops! 

    The Verde farm fields in production- Feb 2014

    Our first harvest, D'Avignon radishes, also called French Breakfast radishes.
    Legend has it that the French eat them sliced thinly on a buttered baguette for breakfast. 



    Seedlings for farm and gardens, started in the greenhouse at our 
    newest project, Verde Farm.

      









    We are very busy these days with a big project, a 22-acre farm which is intended to benefit 145 families of formerly homeless folks, each with a family member living with a disability.
    We are in the process of getting organic certification, preparing our fields and planting with efficient farm equipment, like a John Deere tractor that runs on bio-diesel! All of our team members are formerly homeless, and are learning new skills, so they can run the farm some day. We are getting the onsite farmers market up and running, in a LEED-certified building, and are open 3 days a week. We need your support! More info.
