Siembra Vida
Is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the goal of expanding God’s kingdom as we lift communities out of poverty through organic agriculture and culinary arts.
Our Pursuit
To eliminate those factors that oppress vulnerable communities, such as chronic malnutrition in children, violence, extreme poverty, illiteracy, and spiritual need. We work to provide the necessary tools that can serve as social and economic engines, allowing families to lift up their own community and restore self-worth.
Food is…
dignity

Food plays a powerful role in uniting, sharing with, and educating people, empowering communities and restoring dignity. For those that are served, sitting together at a table brings a powerful equality. The meal itself tells a story, in this case one of collaboration and hope. For those that have prepared it, there is pride in creating something that brings others joy.
Food is…
growing healthy nourishment
In order to unite people to eat together, we first have to cultivate the food, then harvest it, and afterwards teach people how to prepare it. Growing food not only builds a sense of pride for the results of your hard work, but creates an incredible appreciation for such precious provisions that took effort to grow. When we grow food with groups and communities it makes us stronger, closer, and empowers us to be socially and economically sustainable.
