Our big picture goal is to build a healthier, more resilient community by teaching people how to grow their own food using organic and sustainable practices. We formed The Laurels Farm because we believe access to fresh, healthy, and chemical-free food should not be a privilege—it should be a basic resource available to everyone.We see gardening and small-scale farming as powerful tools for community empowerment. By helping individuals and families gain the knowledge and confidence to grow their own food, we are reducing dependence on industrial agriculture and long supply chains, while strengthening local connections and self-reliance.Ultimately, our work is about more than gardening—it’s about fostering long-term wellness, sustainability, and community care. We want to give people the skills to feed themselves, to reconnect with the land, and to pass that knowledge forward so future generations can thrive.
