About Sand n’ Straw
The Sand n Straw Foundation was born from a deep commitment to nurturing urban farms and community gardens. Our journey began at an Urban Agriculture training where we met a woman who had poured her heart into running a beloved community garden. Despite five years of serving as a vital community hub, the garden was forced to close because a developer purchased the land. This story, all too common, inspired us to take action and be part of the solution.
Situated on a regenerative farm, our foundation is a beacon of hope and inspiration. We offer a wide range of programs and events designed to educate, uplift, and inspire individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Through interactive workshops, engaging events, and immersive farm experiences, we foster a profound appreciation for environmental stewardship and the interconnectedness of all living things.
Our Mission
At Sand n Straw Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of hands-on learning and the strength of community support. Our mission is to bridge the gap for children facing financial barriers and underserved adults, including those with disabilities, connecting them with the land through immersive educational farm experiences. We aim to cultivate a deep-rooted sense of sustainability, wellness, and belonging within our community.
At the Sand n Straw Foundation, we encourage individuals of all ages to embrace sustainable living through regenerative agriculture, fostering a deeper connection to the land. By educating both children and adults, we aim to cultivate a community that understands and practices the principles of sustainability and stewardship. In this way, we help others live more abundant lives, inspiring positive change and resilience within our community.
