Our Mission
Empowering youth to cultivate change, one seed at a time.
We believe that when children learn to grow their own food, they develop confidence, responsibility, and hope for the future. Through agriculture, we're planting seeds of knowledge that will nourish communities for generations to come.
Our mission drives everything we do - from classroom education to community gardens, every program is designed to empower young people with the tools they need to create positive change in their own lives and communities.

Nestled in the Antelope Valley of Los Angeles County, Palmdale provides the perfect setting for our agricultural education programs. The region's diverse climate and agricultural heritage create ideal conditions for teaching sustainable farming practices.
Our central location allows us to serve communities throughout the greater Los Angeles area, bringing vital food security education to areas that need it most.
The high desert environment of Palmdale offers unique learning opportunities, teaching children how to grow food in challenging conditions while building resilience and problem-solving skills that extend far beyond agriculture.
What We Do
Kids Feeding Kids Through Agriculture is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth by teaching them sustainable farming practices to combat food insecurity. Through hands-on agricultural education and community service projects, we equip children with the skills to grow their own food, fostering self-reliance and a deeper understanding of nutrition.
Our programs not only address immediate hunger needs but also instill values of stewardship and community engagement. We believe that when young people understand where their food comes from and how to grow it themselves, they become active participants in solving one of society's most pressing challenges.
Every child who participates in our programs learns practical skills while developing confidence, leadership abilities, and a connection to the natural world that will serve them throughout their lives.
