We have a vision for creating a centrally located, hands-on farm where children and youth can participate in growing food, learn about sustainable agriculture, and interact with farm animals and the natural world. The Tucson Village Farm (TVF) is being built on the philosophy that providing children with direct access to nature and the natural world will result in healthy, knowledgeable, and empowered children.
We need extraordinary support to make this happen: volunteers, donations, financial support, but right now we need a piece of land from which to launch this dream. The ideal situation would be to build TVF on city or county-owned land. To make this happen, we need to show our local decision makers that there is broad public support for this project. Please sign below to show your support for this amazing opportunity for Tucson children and youth. Your signature is an important declaration for getting kids outside!
I was just staring at the screen and noticing how fast the signatures are climbing toward that hundred mark which feels like a real turning point for all the kids who want to get their hands dirty. If you know someone who loves the idea of a farm right here in the city maybe buzz them about this now because we really need to keep this momentum rolling before the council meeting.

Tucson needs this. Keep our kids active and away from their tablets for a change. Give them the land.

My kids love visiting here. Would be amazing to have a bigger permanent spot for them to learn where food comes from.
