ROOTS Mission: We believe there is a monumental need to heal the disconnection between the people themselves, and the earth that provides for us. We are inspired to help raise up a generation of children who are deeply connected to the world around them, have the knowledge and practical life skills to live self-sufficiently, while promoting altruism to build community. Introducing children to these skills at a young age will establish an amazing foundation for their futures.

ROOTS Pillars: Workshops/Events will incorporate our Pillars: Regenerative Farming, Nature Studies, Bushcraft, Animal Husbandry, and Homesteading.
All workshops will integrate the teaching of healthy interpersonal skills (leadership, teamwork, communication, empathy, problem solving, etc)
