Our Programs

Our work unfolds through three interconnected programs—Farm, Food, and Leadership & Advocacy each designed to strengthen the bonds between land, culture, and community.

Farm

Our Farm Program offers Pre‑Columbian food education and applies Indigenous, sustainability‑based practices. We support BIPOC farmers, help families overcome food‑system barriers, and foster hands‑on care for the land.

  • Facilitate connection among land, food, culture, and healing

  • Engage the community in planting, caring for, and harvesting crops

  • Increase traditional food consumption within our community

  • Provide Education: on‑farm tours, voucher program, school visits, SNAP‑Ed at farmers markets, tasting tours

  • Build Connections: tasting tours and farmers‑market partnerships

  • Focus on Health: pop‑up health screenings, on‑farm outreach to migrant families, and support for basic needs

Food

The Food Program improves healthy eating by reducing barriers to fresh, nutrient‑dense produce. Working with local farmers, we broaden access to culturally appropriate foods and share ancestral knowledge.

  • Promote healthy eating habits

  • Provide low‑ to no‑barrier access to fresh fruits and vegetables

  • Support and collaborate with local farmers

  • Improve access to culturally appropriate foods for our community

  • Connect families to essential resources

  • Share ancestral cultural knowledge

  • Help families produce ethnic foods that boost household income

Leadership & Advocacy

Through Leadership & Advocacy, we build confidence, create economic equity, and open career pathways for youth and adults, while elevating Latinx voices to advance equitable systemic change.

  • Strengthen Latinx voices and collective power

  • Advocate for equitable systemic change

  • Empowerment: leadership development and internship opportunities

  • Education: information on financial aid and scholarships

  • Community: connect youth with elders and provide civic‑engagement opportunities
