Our Mission
Farming’s Future is a 501(c) 3 educational nonprofit providing experiential programs targeting these STEAM disciplines: Agriculture, Horticulture, Aquaponics, Nutrition, and Environmental Art and Design
Programs
The results of STEAM focused programs combined with civic participation lead to stronger and happier communities so, many of our programs and classes integrate students within their local community. Urban harvest sites on balconies, patios, front or back yards, and in school or community gardens create these opportunities for you and your family and friends.
