​The Youth Farm Project is encouraging justice from the ground up

Check out this cool video and see YFP in action!

We are stewards of our natural and social environment.

Transformative leadership skills. Reverence for the Earth and gratitude in all. Intergenerational responsibility and honor.
​
In our movements towards social change and education there is no bypassing having a different relationship with the earth than we do right now. We must therefore constantly strive for the optimal health of the relationship between the manifold parts of the natural world of which humans are a part. Learning how to grow food instills a sense of power and responsibility. We are a part of the natural world and food sovereignty is a need not a want. We center healing both in the land and our social environments. Real social growth and change is uncomfortable but liberation is the most exciting and enjoyable thing we can do. ​
Our Mission

"At the Youth Farm Project, nourishment and the ability to care for your body when and how you want and need are available. Spaces for quiet, and for gathering, for working together and for resting. Cool teas in the summer, hot teas in the winter"

SUPPORT A MORE SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE FOOD SYSTEM.

When you invest in our youth, you invest in the future of our community. Our programs lead to stronger more resilient community bonds, more food producers, increased political engagement, increased sense of purpose and responsibilities, and healthier families. Invest in the movement towards food sovereignty.
