Our goals are to educate children in local and organic food production, working together as a community, and cultivating a deep respect for our environment and natural resources.

Our main challenge is our water supply. We are not connected to town water instead all 65 residents share two wells this situation severly restricts the use of water in the garden. As a solution to out water shortage we have installed a rain water collection system. We then pump the rain water into the garden. This has taught the children how to preserve our natural resources (water)by using simple and creative problem solving skills.
