Let’s grow good food together.
The Living Ground Farm For Good is on a mission to bring soil, seeds, Cool Teachers and fresh farm food right to your block, and to make every farm in our network a place to learn. We’re just getting started, and we need every community that wants to grow with us.
Learning that grows right where you live.
The plan: a Cool Bus full of Cool Teachers teaching cool stuff, rolling to a community near you. We’re bringing the farm to neighborhoods that don’t usually have easy access to farms, education and seeds for sowing. Our Cool Teachers are ready now, and everything else is coming soon. Tap a card to see more.
Know someone with an old school bus?
We’re raising funds to turn a school bus into our first Cool Bus, so the farm can roll to every neighborhood that needs it. If you have one to donate, or know someone who does, we’d love to hear from you.
Our Cool Teachers
The people who bring the soil, the science and the stories. Tap a card to learn more.
And our Cool Students
Our Junior Board members are next generation leaders, learning by doing and leading their own projects. Each Cool Teacher guides a different project, so our Cool Students get direct access to every board member and learn from each of them along the way. And we want more, from all over the world!
The Pomegranate Rescue Fall 2026
Our Junior Board is rescuing 250 pomegranate trees’ worth of fruit and turning it into good things for the community. Our first Junior Board project is guided by board member Liesha McKinley.

The Living Ground Block Party.
One day, one community: soil, science, teachers, music and fresh farm food. Every family goes home with a grow bag to tend, harvest and share.
Block Parties are coming soon. We’re taking requests now to build our waiting list and show donors where communities want us.
What will you grow in your grow bag?
Pick a plant to see how long it takes, how much sun it needs and what size bag to use.
Every farm teaches.
We serve The Living Ground Farm network exclusively. Every farm in it makes three promises, and we bring the third one to life. As farms are licensed and inspected, we’ll encourage each one to replicate this model in its own community, until the whole world is growing together.
Regenerative
Farms that leave the soil healthier than they found it.
Safe to eat
Food grown to a standard families can trust.
Education
A place to learn at every farm, for the people around it. That part is us.
From 7 kids to 140 Cool Students.
After decades living bicoastal between New York City and Los Angeles, Boy Meets World star Trina McGee and her husband, actor Marcello Thedford, moved to Malawi and bought 170 acres. The school there, S.T.A.R. Academy, has grown from 7 kids to 140 Cool Students since it began in early 2026.
Marcello sits on our board, and we couldn’t be more proud or excited to help them grow. Pun intended.
I want to…
We’re just getting started, and every request, volunteer and donation helps us grow. Pick one and your form appears right below.
Plant something that keeps growing.
We’re raising funds for our first Cool Bus, grow bags, seeds and Cool Teachers. Every gift helps bring these programs to life in communities across the network.
