LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Agricultural Education:
"Cultivating the Future"
Our initiative uses the food-growing process to educate our community’s youth, instill moral values, and lay a healthy foundation for success in whatever path they decide to take in their future.
​
We want to provide every student with the opportunity to learn agricultural education. From soil study, to cultivation, to harvesting techniques -- and even the preparation of healthy meals, with the helping hand of local chefs! -- our goal is to get back to the basics of how kids used to learn and serve as a training ground for the most valuable life skills.
​
We believe, above all else, the building of character is truly the highest objective in a child’s education. And while traditional methods are essential for the development of knowledge, we believe that some things -- integrity, hard work, selflessness, empathy, courage, gratitude, self-awareness -- cannot be fully taught or actualized through pen and paper, behind a desk, or even reading a book.

Philosophy
​
There was a time in history where the farmers were viewed as the poor, the ones who could not afford city life, and thus grew food in their own fields, distant from the wealthy city life. Now, in 2025, the connotation is quickly changing, for decades, the wealthiest people on the planet have been buying massive amounts of remote land. Middle-class Americans have begun following suit, in their trendy micro-farms in the American suburbs. We come to a cross road where most homes have a mom that is working full-time. The kids desire to play outside, but it is too dangerous. We must innovate back to the origins of human needs. The mold of society is breaking our children, therefore we must redesign it, so our children can grow strong and be healthy again.
​
We dream of a day, where children get to taste the sweetness of the fruits of their work. Where plants are known by their names and functions, not just used to look at from a window.
