Mission Statement

We seek to catalyze residents to create conditions that transform their food-insecure neighborhoods into vital hubs for health and well-being.

Description

We strive to be catalysts for change, providing opportunities for creative expression and experiential learning.

Through our art programs, we provide a range of activities and opportunities that includes the integration and creation of art as a mode of communication, action, and reflection in which individuals and groups of residents engage.

Through our farming and food programs, we work with residents and other neighborhood stakeholders to create a network of community-based small plot, high-yield farms. Our small-scale manufacturing operations produce food-based and agricultural products.

Life is how we use, value, and share what we create to survive and thrive.

Our end goal is to increase the well-being of individuals and to improve the social, economic, and cultural viability of their communities. We provide food and wellness-oriented workshops, community meals and events, and "food-as-medicine" programs to support people’s efforts to live healthier lives.
