We Prioritize on Health
At Hungry World Farm, health (in all its aspects) is always a primary goal and is central to our approach for growing crops and raising animals. We believe that healthy food comes from healthy soils, land, and ecosystems. As such, we focus on soil and ecosystem health, and we aim to develop production systems that are diverse and holistically managed.
