Our Impact

Youth
Our 12-week Sustainable Sciences Internship provides youth with skill-building agricultural education and work. This builds their self-efficacy which prevents them from engaging in substance misuse.

Families
Our 12-week Sustainable Families Program aims to give parents the necessary skills to foster a healthy and cooperative relationship with their children. Families also spend quality time learning how to garden together. .

Community
Our speaking engagements and events educate people from all walks of life on various skills in sustainable agriculture. Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm also provides fresh produce to community customers each week.
[The Youth Internship] impacts for youth include increased knowledge around sustainability, food systems, and gardening as well as important impacts on family, community and friendships. [The Family Program] impacts for parents were engaging with their children more effectively, the support system that the parenting program provides, and how their children appreciate healthy foods more as a result of understanding, and participating in, the gardening process.”
