Our Mission
To provide educational, wellness, and youth development programs through nature-based learning experiences that promote environmental stewardship, mental and emotional well-being, and community engagement.
The Four Suns Farm Foundation supports hands-on agricultural education, youth enrichments, and accessible wellness programming rooted in sustainable practices and the cultivation of lavender.
We help young people and families learn, heal, and grow through nature. By offering hands-on education, youth programs, and wellness experiences rooted in sustainable lavender farming, we create opportunities for connection, creativity, and environmental stewardship in our community.
Our Vision
A thriving community where young people and families are deeply connected to the land, empowered through learning, and supported in their well-being — cultivating a lifelong respect for nature, sustainable agriculture, and one another.
Our Values
Education Through Experience
We believe learning is most powerful when it is hands-on, place-based, and rooted in real-world experiences that spark curiosity and confidence.
Youth-Centered Growth
Young people are at the heart of our work. We create environments where youth feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore, lead, and thrive.
Wellness and Whole-Person Care
We honor mental, emotional, and physical well-being by offering programs that promote balance, creativity, and connection with nature.
Environmental Stewardship
We are committed to sustainable practices that respect the land and inspire responsibility, care, and long-term environmental health.
Community and Access
We strive to make our programs welcoming and accessible, fostering belonging and shared purpose among individuals, families, and partners.
Program Pillars
Education
We provide hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that increase environmental literacy, agricultural knowledge, and life skills. Educational programs emphasize sustainable farming practices, plant science, and the role of nature in human well-being, using lavender cultivation as a living classroom.
Wellness
We promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being through nature-based experiences that encourage reflection, creativity, and stress reduction. Wellness programming is designed to be accessible and supportive, helping participants build resilience and healthy coping skills through connection with the natural environment.
Youth Engagement
Youth are at the center of our work. We offer age-appropriate educational and enrichment opportunities that foster curiosity, confidence, leadership, and a sense of belonging. Programs prioritize experiential learning and positive youth development in safe, supportive outdoor settings.
Stewardship
We model and promote responsible environmental stewardship by practicing and teaching sustainable agriculture, land care, and conservation-minded decision-making. Participants are encouraged to develop a long-term respect for the land and an understanding of their role in sustaining healthy ecosystems.
