Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Agricultural Programs, Food
Mission: The mission of amber waves farm is to produce organic, healthy food for the local community and to provide the public with an educational outlet to learn about the joyful process of growing food by using the land as an outdoor classroom.
Programs: The community supported agriculture program consists of 150 families that join the farm to share the risks and rewards of the growing season. Csa members actively participate in sustainable agriculture by purchasing local, seasonal, organic food directly from farmers.
food education: amber waves connects eaters, especially children, to their food and the farmers growing it, to establish a foundation for lifelong land stewardship and healthy eating through on-farm education: field trips, summer camps and weekly community farm visits.
apprenticeship program: provides farm apprentices with the primary skills needed to pursue a career in agriculture through in-depth, on-farm instruction in a variety of subjects most important to organic farming, as well as access to nearby workshops, lectures and conferences.
