It will really take many hands to accomplish the goals we have laid out with our endeavor. Our vision of teaching children and their families how to live a life that is self-sustaining takes time and money. But, we are blessed with many donations, volunteers and businesses that want to play a part.

Grants

• Cherokee Nation Community & Cultural Outreach
• Whole Foods Kids Foundation – Garden Grant
• Whole Foods Kids – Bee Grant
• Walmart Community Grant – Pryor, OK

Sponsors

Every week, the guys from the ranch head over to our local Sprouts Farmers Market and pick up many pounds of good quality food that can no longer be sold or donated to the food banks. But this food is great to use in the garden, returning minerals and other nutrients to the soil for the next harvest. We are especially grateful for this blessing. Thanks Sprouts!
