How it works

Grow

Vegetables on about one acre in Okaloosa County, using compost and cover crops instead of chemical sprays or synthetic fertilizer.

Give

Everything we harvest is free: a weekly farm stand open to anyone, plus deliveries to local food pantries. No ID, no questions.

Teach

Workdays and simple classes so neighbors can grow food at home and bring tired, sandy soil back to life.
