Our purpose is to empower people impacted by mass incarceration and social inequities with the skills and resources to cultivate food sovereignty, economic justice, and community healing.
We are working toward economic and environmental justice by building a network of sustainable land–based social enterprises. We counter systemic oppression, violence, and inequity by creating good jobs with nature-based work, a healing environment with holistic community support, and real opportunities for personal growth.
Our organic nursery, urban tree farm, aquaponics farm, and pay-what-you-can commercial kitchen work together as an ecosystem. We also provide social justice and nutrition education, paid youth internships, and cultivate school gardens for high school students at OUSD.
