Mission: The organization's primary exempt purpose is to provide opportunities for high school students in the st. Louis metro area to experience a working farm in the ozarks region. Visiting students gain a brief introduction to the history, both geographical and cultural, of the ozark region, which includes its flora, fauna, and the challenges to develop a farm according to diversified and sustainable organic practices.
