Overview

Mission

Our mission is to inspire and empower people to live in harmony with nature through immersive farm-to-table experiences with food that is truly good.

What it reported doing in 2025

The victory garden project - victory gardens were originally developed to increase food production during world war ii, empowering home gardeners to grow their own food. We also seek to empower home gardeners, increasing access to fresh organic produce and opportunities to care for the land. While we wait to secure our land at tandi family farms, we are dedicated to empowering home gardeners to cultivate their own food at no cost to the community!

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
