About [Edit]
F.E.A.S.T. is a program that teaches sustainable living skills to young adults through the public high school education system. It is a program that helps develop exciting alternatives to the unsustainable lifestyles that are prevalent in the U.S. In other words it helps the five earth tribe consciously prepare to have a smaller ecological footprint through education. Students then take this knowledge to their community, through teaching younger kids, holding benefit dinners, leading discussions, and running an educational booth at the farmers market.
Receiving high school credit students are able to learn practical skills such as growing food, permaculture design, raising bees, nutritious food preparation, wild crafting medicines and leadership skills.
We are one manifestation of Earth's immune system kicking in.
As this is a community sponsored organization we are constantly looking for ways to connect resources and needs.
