To create a series of edible schoolyard gardens utilizing organic techniques with heirloom and native plantings. Our hope is to bring children back in touch with the earth, introducing them to healthy food choices and building a "green community" around food. Successful projects around the US incorporating gardens into their curriculum have seen the benefits on many levels and we aim to foster that here in Charlotte.
To operate a CSA that would incorporate a farm-to-school project. There is tremendous need in Charlotte for shares which might sell for around $45 per week. The CSA also might provide produce to local schools as part of a "salad bar" initiative to engage children in healthy eating.
To operate a retreat center for contemplation, spiritual growth and learning in the context of a farming community.
