Join us for our Garden Programs!
For the People and Kids! has partnered up with D.I.G. Farm to bring a hands-on outdoor classroom to empower community members of all ages to learn to grow food. By utilizing regenerative agriculture and permaculture techniques that help heal the soil and heal our community. Food grown feeds our students, volunteers and those in our community experiencing food insecurity.
