What We Do

Mission & Values

Small Farms Big Minds is veteran-led nonprofit organization dedicated to training the next generation of regenerative small scale farmers in the Greater Phoenix region. Agriculture is an expansive web—our very existence hangs in the balance of responsible farming practices. The food we eat the weather outside, and even the air we breathe are all impacted by agricultural methods.

Environment.

Regenerative agriculture can decrease air pollution, increase environmental biodiversity, and reduce water scarcity.

Food Security.

Increasing local production of organic produce supports food security and wellness in times of hardship.

Empowerment.

We believe access to both education and gainful employment should not be limited by race, gender, or socioeconomic status.

Community.

Small Farms Big Minds believes in continuing service to communities. Supporting small-scale farms stimulates the local economy, and fosters interactions between diverse communities.
