Mile High Farm

Mile High Farm serves as an experiential educational classroom specializing in permaculture principles and ethics. Applying natural systems and organic gardening methods, we collect and hold over 10,000 gallons of rainwater during our (2) known rain seasons annually. We've planted native perennials, fruit and nut trees, and incorporate chickens into our successful system. As a satellite campus, we work closely with local universities, preschools, and professional adults offering tours, classes, and hands-on lessons.

Crossroads, Meatless Mondays

 Crossroads, Inc. is a six month residential program for women transitioning out of prison. The women in the program live in the two Crossroads houses in Claremont while completing the Crossroads curriculum. Both houses have organic gardens, and one of the houses recently created the space to keep a flock of chickens. Crossroads program curriculum is designed to reduce recividism rates and offers such programs like drug/alcohol couseling, job training, life skills, and healthy living. Meatless Mondays is one of the required programs.

Cultivating Dreams

 Cultivating Dreams is a student-run nonprofit organization that oversees an organic garden inside the California Institution for Women (CIW), a prison in Corona, CA. The garden is maintained through the collective effort of the women inside and volunteers from the Claremont College community. The fruits and vegetables grown in the garden are sent in the prison’s main kitchen or intensive care unit. Cultivating Dreams could not function without the support of the prison staff and warden of CIW.

Sonoma State University Garden Classroom

Sonoma State University (SSU) has an active commitment to sustainability, in both its infrastructure and academic programs. Instilling a sense of environmental stewardship in students has increasingly taken place in a living lab, Copeland Creek, which crosses campus.

The Garden Classroom (Department of Environmental Studies and Planning), adjacent to the creek, has become a hub for university students across campus, and serves as a hands-on, interdisciplinary outdoor classroom for creek restoration activities, habitat gardening, and food production and preparation.
