- Educational Programs Our educational programs are designed for children in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are dedicated to our integrative educational programs to empower youth to grow food and inspire them to work within the community. We provide “hands on” interactive educational workshops. These opportunities are offered to children of all backgrounds, religions, races to promote gardening wisdom, healthy living, locally grown food, growing awareness of eating locally grown, and for celebrating our connection to the Earth. Our core sustainable educational program known as Victory Farmer Series serves elementary age children with hands on workshops. We have developed: a series of hands-on curriculum and provided programs on farming to schools and libraries, community based farms, community educational events, and sustainable agriculture workshops. Our Victory Farmer Series workshops are generally for children between K – 8. The California standards can be clearly identified in each of these workshop activities. These enhancement learning skills range mainly from Life and Earth Science requirements. We can deliver this private training of the complete workshop at your site in a 12 hour specified timeframe and provide all materials involved. The Victory Farmer Series will empower children and their families to learn to be able to grow their own food.

- Community based interactive educational program Program Description: According to Iroquois legend, corn, beans, and squash are three inseparable sisters who only grow and thrive together. This legend gave us the idea to create a piece of choreography based on ancient agricultural techniques. This dance is about how art and human creations are inspired by the elements of the Earth, the food systems that nourish our bodies, the practices that strengthen our culture and fulfill our spirit. Throughout the civilization of man, dance has been a fundamental element in ritual practices, gatherings of celebration, and oral storytelling. Impact: This dance performance will encourage the local community through public awareness to increase the amount of healthy and sustainable food. With “Living On”, we will open the door to a new medium of garden based education and a deepening of one’s connection to the land and the rhythms of nature in a memorable experience of dance. The “Living On” Feel the Earth dance lets nature be the power that propels art, spirit, and creativity.
