In 2019 , we had the opportunity to take over the surrounding 28 acres . So now we do all of those things paired with the production and distribution of a working regenerative organic certified farm . We're open seven days a week .
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 . We started the Ecology Center in 2008 .
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 .
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 .
We have Nicole Chetana in Rio . So the farm apprentices are learning how to do this work . Hopefully with the idea that they could take it elsewhere .
