Our Impact

Our mission is to steward a historic farm that enriches the greater Lake County community as a center for experiential learning to broaden access to education, nutritious food, and our local food system. 

We strive to build a healthier community and more resilient, local food system by: 

  • Donating our fresh harvest and healthy meals from our kitchen to families facing food insecurity in Lake County on a weekly basis. 

  • Offering free educational programs and experiences to youth and adults, including dual-language (English/Spanish) programs.

  • Building ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible gardens and offering adaptive programs for people with disabilities. 

  • Partnering with an ecosystem of community organizations to deliver our programs.

  • Supporting 50 local farmers and producers through our market and kitchen sourcing. 

  • Providing a free destination for thousands of local visitors to enjoy our grounds and reconnect with nature and our local food system - 365 days a year. 

  • Practicing sustainable agricultural methods on the farm.
