Building Communities
- Natural Earth Eco Living - Natural Earth Eco Garden Villages - We plan to create affordable, sustainable eco homes within nature settings, encouraging a lighter way of living on the earth. Garden Village Projects within a Farm setting or Land. Places to be where you can find youself surrounded by a more natural way of living and being.
- Food For Free - We believe that access to healthy food is a fundamental right.
Food For Free improves access to healthy food within our community by rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste and creating new distribution channels to under-served populations with an emphasis on utilizing school systems to reach those in need. We envision a future where everyone in our community – regardless of age, income, or ability – has consistent access to fresh, healthy, delicious food.
Through a combination of food rescue and transportation services, we give food programs year-round access to fresh fruits and vegetables, while our direct service programs bring food to students, seniors, and others most at risk of hunger. Our programs address not only short-term hunger, but also the long-term health effects of food insecurity and poor nutrition, while reducing food waste.

- Agro Forestry - Agroforestry is the growing of both trees and agricultural / horticultural crops on the same piece of land. They are designed to provide tree and other crop products and at the same time protect, conserve, diversify and sustain vital economic, environmental, human and natural resources. Agroforestry differs from traditional forestry and agriculture by its focus on the interactions amoung components rather than just on the individual components themselves.
