We provide young people with opportunities to reconnect to the earth: nurturing, tending and healing their relationship with themselves and the land while experiencing agency over what is planted and grown. We are sowing seeds for food, but also for new narratives around what it means to be in relationship with nature. !

Our Story

Food Moxie was created by the Board of Weavers Way Cooperative in 2007 as a means to expand its role in, and to positively impact the community in which it operates. We believe that access to healthy, affordable and culturally relevant food is a human right; that we can, and must, work together as a community to educate our children and neighbors about cooperative values, nutrition and the value of local, small-scale agriculture.
