About Farming Hope
For 10 years, Farming Hope has turned kitchens into classrooms. We give people facing major barriers to employment, including recent homelessness and incarceration, paid hands-on culinary training and a real path to life-sustaining employment. Along the way we serve thousands of meals each week to neighbors facing food insecurity, cooked largely from produce that would otherwise have been thrown away.
What began as an idea at Stanford's d.school has grown into a proven workforce development model that creates economic opportunity while addressing food insecurity and food waste.
Ten years in: more than 200 Apprentices trained, more than $1.3 million in wages earned, and more than 1 million meals cooked.
