This nonprofit does phenomenal work in Yolo County by supporting edible gardens, hands-on experiential learning, and ag/nutritional education. As a West Sac parent with children in elementary school, I appreciate that our school garden has thrived, thanks to their ongoing support! We're very appreciative.
