Our mission is to provide social empowerment through the growing and sharing of fresh food. Every human being deserves access to fresh food. This is a basic human right. Our mission will challenge the narrative of "not enough" while providing quantifiable evidence there is an abundance. Our board members will provide the support needed to continue our mission. We take the position all people deserve a voice and we strive to work towards healthier forms of communications. Due to our groups close connection with the growing season, a moderate level of adaptability is necessary. An understanding of the challenges of a harvest based group is a bonus, but is not required.
