ALMA exists to re-claim lives of formerly incarcerated people, re-purpose land into productive
urban farms, and re-imagine community as a place for people & plants to thrive.

ALMA’s Social Enterprise grows and distributes organic, whole foods within food-insecure communities. Fresh food is made available to community members and to restaurant partners.  

Why We Do It

ALMA reconnects the lives of the formerly incarcerated back to the fabric of society.

Our participants have the chance at attaining gainful employment and becoming self-sufficient.  

 

Urban Farming helps everyone involved explore the relationships between plants, animals and

humans as a way of creating a profound connection to both nature and their community.

"Farming brings me peace.  I haven't had peace like this before."
