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."
