A future that
values our shared ecosystem
celebrates community
nourishes our children
is thriving
WE IMAGINE A FUTURE WITH A CULTURE
THAT GIVES MORE THAN IT TAKES
We’ve transformed a one-acre dirt lot
into a thriving ecosystem that models a
healthy, creative community in the 21st
century. Support from our community in
San Juan Capistrano over the past ten
years helped make this possible.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS
Now we are a destination where
people from across the region and
within our community come to plant
seeds, tend the garden, learn new
skills, create with their hands, and
share a meal in celebration.
In 10 years,
we’ve engaged
over 100,000’s on-site
10,000’s children
100s of artisans,
farmers,
and chefs
OUR IMPACT
Let’s expand our impact for our community
WHERE WE’RE GOING NEXT
Expanding our footprint allows
us to engage more people, create
more hands-on experiences, and
give our future leaders more
tools to thrive.
CONTINUED USE
AGREEMENT
Together, we are
inspiring our next
generation of
farmers and chefs,
and providing our
community with
enhanced, hands-on,
impactful educational
experiences.
