Mission
Youth Farm's mission is simple - we farm to grow. We farm to grow food, community, and, most importantly, young leaders. Youth learn to plant, grow, cook, and responsibly distribute local produce while developing real world leadership skills along the way by using food as a catalyst for change within their communities.Our work is grounded in our three guiding values as an organization - that we will work to center racial equity in all of our organization's operations, that we believe in youth as active leaders in our work, and that people know how to best care for themselves, their families, and their communities. These values are dynamic and are alive in our organizational work. We are committed to creating systems of accountability to live into them and using them as a foundation for future direction of our work.
