Eat The Land

Organization: Eat The Land™

Expertise: Enthusiastic Gardener, Community Supporter

Summary:

Eat The Land™ is a grass roots organization based in Ontario, California, that is dedicated to helping educate and motivate the local community about growing food as an alternative to lawns. Our dream is to bring the community together in an agro-communal effort to expand the local garden community. We hope that through our efforts we help to educate people about the land and the many deliciously edible plant life, and encourage the great potential for local residents to grow their own food. We received the general idea of the mission from witnessing a non-related organization called LA Green Grounds, based in South Central L.A. Their mission is to turn the "food deserts"(lands, lawns, and lots that grow nothing or non-edible plants) into FOOD FORESTS(vast lands full of edible plants), by a PAY-IT-FORWARD system. So naturally we thought it was a great idea, and now we are starting a pay-it-forward community based organization. We also wish to start local garden programs.
