ABOUT
We aim to create a joyous, diverse, and sustainable community of well-nourished people and well-compensated farmers and food workers.
One of our a-maiz-ing initiatives is the annual planting of the 3 sisters crops (corn, beans, and squash). These plantings are at various farms and gardens in and near Louisville and nourish our members and partners, as with annual Nixtamal (Hominy-Tortilla) Festivals.
Family-friendly gardening parties (first launched in 2024) are offered to families with children (of all ages) and adult gardeners or gardener-novices to learn gardening in a volunteer group setting, while enjoying exercise, and share in weekly harvests of produce. Donations welcome but not required!
Another initiative is Garden Camp, which takes place in Jun3. With 15-20 campers, age 7-12, we tell stories, garden, cook lunch, process other delicious food, play games, and swim.

Due to an un-anticipated obstacle-- the impending May 24-Labor Day closure of the Mary T. Maugher Aquatic Center for repairs-- and failed attempts to find an alternative swimming pool for after-lunch camp swimming sessions (an important draw for the camp and joy/relief for the campers), it has been decided to cancel the week-long summer gardening camps for the 2025 season, hoping to revive them for June, 2026 for kids 7 years of age and up.
