Our Projects

This is a year-round micro-homesteading initiative designed for early learners in Pre-K through 5th grade. The program offers a hands-on, memorable experience where participants receive a complete chick-hatching kit.

By introducing children to the basics of food systems and animal care, the program supports positive childhood experiences and helps develop practical life skills through small-scale urban agriculture.

BGiftE Urban Homestead is a community-led project that promotes sustainable urban agriculture education and participatory community engagement through a collaborative and environmentally conscious permaculture demonstration homestead site.

Situated in the Collins Streamside Community in Irvington, this project aims to enhance awareness and understanding of sustainable practices.
