Our approach is one of sustainability, giving back to the earth as much as it gives to us.

We have two major current projects:

Charles Street Gardens

Full Circle Farm is a non-profit farm. In partnership with the Santa Clara Unified School District, we're working to give 14,000 kids the chance to plant, care for, harvest, and eat their own food.

Help Full Circle Farm continue to grow by adopting a tree. For $200, you can adopt one of the trees in the heritage orchard. More details can be found on the Full Circle Farm funding page.
