All Programs
CCUA works to enhance our community’s health by connecting people to agriculture and the land through hands-on learning opportunities, from seed to plate. Our programs and services are designed to support eaters and learners of all ages, and happen at our farm locations, in school classrooms and gardens, at food pantries, at local healthcare and treatment facilities, and even right at your own home!
