More Than a Farm
People hear “foundation” and think of money at a distance.
We don’t.
We work alongside farmers on the practical, often unglamorous work that keeps farms viable. Increasing capacity, rebuilding soil and ecosystems, navigating grants and compliance, and opening new markets. We show up early, stay late, and lend a hand where it’s needed most.
Not from afar. On the farm.
The helping hands behind our foundation.
