Building healthy relationships between urban and rural people, and between humanity and nature.
One School · One Farm connects urban schools with farms in their region. Schools and farmers that are interested in the project sign up with our organization. Our goal is to support projects through fostering relationships, consulting on design for the eco-buffer or prairie strip, sourcing plant material, and, eventually, financial assistance.
The goal is healthier people through healthier land. This goal is reached through planning and planting diverse shelterbelt systems (or Prairie Strips) that support pollinators, sequester carbon, prevent erosion, and maintain the water cycle.
