Mission:

About Us:
At Moss Haven Farm, we're not just sowing seeds; we're planting the future. Located in the heart of North Texas, Moss Haven Farm is a thriving community hub where education and agriculture intersect to create a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
Our Story:
Founded in 2012, Moss Haven Farm started as an elementary school garden and has evolved into a vibrant and dynamic organization dedicated to promoting hands-on learning, environmental stewardship, and the joys of growing and sharing wholesome food.
Our Impact:
Empowering Education: We provide students of all ages with enriching, interactive educational experiences, teaching them essential life skills, fostering a love for the environment, and nurturing their curiosity.
Sustainable Agriculture: Our farm isn't just a place to grow food; it's a living example of sustainable agriculture. We cultivate high-yield crops, manage a Giving Garden that donates thousands of pounds of produce to the North Texas Food Bank, and maintain 23 raised beds, farm fields, a Texas Native bed, and an efficient compost system.
Community Building: Moss Haven Farm is a gathering place for people from all walks of life. Families, schools, and neighbors come together to learn, work, and celebrate the joys of nature and community.
Edible Education: Our mission is to provide edible education for every grade level. We believe that teaching the connection between food and the environment empowers individuals to make healthier, more sustainable choices.
