You are safe here
We stand with you
We seek to transfer power and dignity
We strive to grow as people, to walk a
bias-free path, to be allies, to be accessible and to be accountable.
Our clients are at the center of this effort. We recognize their
agency and impact.
We recognize this is our ongoing journey and a series of daily choices.
We share the bounty
We believe that everyone who puts labor into this endeavor should enjoy the bounty.
Volunteers are encouraged to take as much produce as they like at the end of the shift.
We try to take a pause in every work day to taste the food and connect over conversation. That's where the sweetness lies.
We tend the
soil first
There is an incredible web of life in the soil that makes it possible for plants to thrive.
We explore systems for preserving that web while avoiding practices that are detrimental to our environment.
We are always reviewing the sustainability of our practices with an eye on water conservation and minimal tilling.
