Core Values
Integrity
We strive to pursue honorable, worthwhile initiatives and conduct our business with honesty, transparency and high ethical standards while building trust. We strive to handle personal interactions with employees and stakeholders with respect for all involved regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, age or religion.
Compassion
We strive to serve the community with an eye toward empowerment, skill building and with a learner mind-set. Realizing that no one wants to become another party’s project, we strive to work together in identification of needs and designing problem-solving strategies. We involve community members in planning, process and production.
Growth
Individuals, communities and systems need to experience growth to create an environment that nurtures and fosters health and wellness. As we introduce or enhance hydroponic and/or aquaponic growing opportunities, we strive to simultaneously provide access to highly nutritious food and new employment opportunities. One goal is to inspire growth in the local economy which would enable more participants to provide much needed resources for their families.
Excellence
We strive to exhibit excellence in every facet of our business: in educating and training our staff, operating our facilities using best practices and establishing procedures that enable growing systems to achieve benchmarks that demonstrate a high return on the time, treasure and talent invested.
