Indigo Fields Forever

 

The purpose of this gardening project is to give Teens and Young Adults a place where they can learn about how to grow their own food & flowers, and create products from the land and from their imaginations. The idea is to have this be a self-contained program, where not only is the program itself supported, but a portion of the proceeds will go directly to the participants. Ideally, they will use it to pursue their passions and create an abundant life for themselves.
