We are stewards of our natural and social environment.

Our work is based on the legacy of activists and change makers who have strived - historically and contemporarily - for equality and liberation for Black and other communities of color. At YFP we believe that food sovereignty is a need, not a want, and growing food directly links us to our own liberation. Engaging our youth and community through technologies of land-based care practices we plant seeds of healing, justice, and emancipation. Growing inwards and upwards, towards a new paradigm.
