Its various programs include a program that provides training and land access to new farmers, as well as immigrant and limited-resource farmers, to “create sustainable farm businesses to feed their families and their community.” There are children’s education workshops, CSAs, and gardens rented out on a sliding scale.
Check them out – a great way to build community and natural resources.

With a flair for spontaneity, pizzazz, creative excellence and her own unique sense of aesthetic grace and perspective, we have our very dear friend, Belinda (or B, to some of us). Although an incredibly accomplished professional and career woman, B’s down-to-earth approach and demeanor transcends all scenarios, communities and people. She manifests, in her day-to-day, the essence of the word “Zomppa” as demonstrated by her extraordinary commitment to creating sustainable and positive change for us and future generations to come. She’s asked for a dog every year since she was five. Check out Belinda’s work on global education research and coaching: www.hummingbirdrcc.com or more about her portfolio www.belindachiu.com.
This sounds like a great idea; particularly the children’s education part.
I love all these communities gardens!!! I really like the idea of cooking classes and all the other events are great too!
I wish there were projects like this when I was still attending the school..so now I wouldn’t feel frustrated when the radishes in my containers didn’t grow…at least I would have a bit of idea what the heck is going on with them.
As a mom, I always like places with children’s work shop and involve young children.
I love the programs for immigrants and limited-resource farmers. That’s truly giving to the people who need it most!
