Our Purpose

Our purpose is to... serve as a venue for bringing community together and raising awareness on issues of sustainability. We do this by providing education and inspiration on issues of sustainability. Working with the community and related organizations to advance our mutual missions, we provide access to local sustainable foods, recycling programs, renewable energy options, conservation of natural resources, and health and wellness programs. We support local farmers and food producers, foster connections between farmers/producers and the community, provide instruction in the growth and the preparation of healthy foods.Whether it’s at the farmers’ market or through any of our other active educational programs, we directly connect people to their local ecosystems. Our work uncovers the intrinsic value of the land around us and the importance of treating the land with respect.
