Meet the Founder/Director/Garden Steward

Nan’Chang Thompson

Founder

At the heart of our work is a vision rooted in purpose, resilience and community. This work was built from vision, faith and a deep commitment to community. 

Nan’Chang is the founder and Director behind this initiative, leading a growing movement rooted in food sovereignty, sustainability, connection, and collective growth. What started as a personal calling has grown into a space where people can reconnect to the land, access fresh food, and build something meaningful together.

Leadership Philosophy

Nan’Chang leads with purpose and a strong belief that communities deserve ownership over their food and resources. The work is guided by:

  • Leading with integrity and intention

  • Building strong, community-centered relationships

  • Creating sustainable, community-led systems

  • Building spaces that promote healing, growth, and independence

  • Staying grounded in faith, resilience, and long-term vision.

  • Turning challenges into purpose-driven action

A Message From The Founder

The journey started with a vision, but it continues because of the people. This is about more than just growing food, it’s about growing community, creating access, and building something that can sustain us for years to come .The work is bigger than me, it’s about building a team that also believes in the mission and vision.

It’s about building something that nourishes people in every sense of the word. I believe that when we come together with purpose, we can create real, lasting change.
