Slide Ranch

Slide Ranch Mission
The mission of Slide Ranch is to connect children to nature. Slide Ranch teaches visitors the impact our choices have on food, health, and the environment, through hands-on activities and independent exploration of our farm and coastal wild lands.

Every bite of food connects us to the soil, sun, water, and air, and to the people who work to feed us. Slide Ranch teaches respect and responsibility for sustaining these connections.

Create Common Good

 Create Common Good uses food to change lives and build healthy communities. Our vision is a healthy community where people have access to empowerment, employment, self-sufficiency and access to healthy food. We use access to healthy food to positively change people's lives by harnessing the community's resources to build lasting systems that provide employment and self-sufficiency. Our training programs all prepare at-risk, underserved populations to find, perform, and retain work with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency in our community.

Whiting Lane Elementary School Living Classroom

My school in Connecticut consists of prekindergarten through fifth grade students. The prekindergarten is geared for working with children who have special needs. Our K through five classes include the integration of students with autism, special needs and language differences. My goal, as school librarian, is to bring these different groups together through events promoting environmental literacy. At this time, each grade level is in charge of growing the flowers, vegetables and herbs in their own 4 x 8 foot raised bed.  Their gardens reflect what they are learning in the classrooms.
