Backyardfarmers Synergized Community Wellness, School Engagement, and Agro-Eco Solutions Program

Through our Garden-School Program, we’re driving toward a future where every school runs a sustainable, organic, high-performing garden — a living classroom that teaches learners to grow their own clean, wholesome food and to build a circular economy mindset into their daily lives. These gardens aren’t just projects; they’re long-term systems that cultivate responsibility, resilience, and real-world skills our communities have relied on for generations.

Your environment is an extension of your mind!

​This World Mental Health Day, remember that messy spaces lead to spiking cortisol, poor sleep, and weakened cognitive function.

Add in chemically altered food, and you have a recipe for stress and mental imbalance.
​Clean your mind by cleaning your surroundings. It's a simple, profound act of self-care.
