Really , the only barrier is intention . You know , we live in a time in which agriculture is the single greatest contributor to climate emissions . The one thing that has built health for thousands of years is now literally toxic .
We are a farm , a school , a community center , a farm stand , a cafe , really a space to educate and engage people about this important work , why it matters and how it can add beauty and diversity to our lives . We started the Ecology Center in 2008 . So 15 years ago , this year on one acre , we hosted tens of thousands of kids for field trips .
The one thing that has built health for thousands of years is now literally toxic . So we as a model at the Ecology Center are demonstrating how not only we can rebuild that health but how really it can be more interesting and fun and dynamic and ultimately tasteful and add value to our communities in meaningful ways . Cheers another local tidbit .
But I like to showcase the zone because this was a dirt lot in 2008 . So to be able to stand here now on a hot day under a 50 ft tall sycamore tree , it's 20 degrees cooler . We get to demonstrate how all of our spaces can actually look like this .
These are Peaches . The ecology Center is a nonprofit organization located in San Juan Capistrano , South Orange County . We are a farm , a school , a community center , a farm stand , a cafe , really a space to educate and engage people about this important work , why it matters and how it can add beauty and diversity to our lives .
