Bringing as much fresh, local homemade, and organic food into school meals as possible.

Reconnecting kids to the land by teaching kids what good, nutritious food tastes like, why it is good for them, where it comes from, and how it is grown.

Cultivating a resilient local food system in the

Gunnison Valley by enhancing healthy connections

between earth, food, and community.

Gardens

We utilize, teach, and promote organic, sustainable growing methods to produce food , create and preserve green space in residential areas, improve soils, and provide habitats for birds and pollinators. The gardens provide opportunities for community members to engage in food production, strengthen life skills, practice land stewardship, build connections within the community, and become more food-secure.

Access & Outreach

Helping community members access affordable, fresh, nutritious food that is regionally based and sustainably produced. Developing and supporting activities that build individual and community self-reliance, foster social justice, promote cultural integration, and preserve farmable land.
