SOIL SISTERS 2020 PROJECT
To combat this extremely stressful situation and help local families to have good health and adequate food in their homes, Dr. Gray-Steele was inspired to launch the Soil Sisters project. Because gardens have been deemed essential by the State of Oklahoma, it will be possible for NWIAA to proceed with this generous project and continue to assist low income children with help from the community.
“The gardens will be built at the homes of the people who sign up for one, and the only requirement is that they grow enough to share with three other local families. Since families cannot come to our garden center, we are bringing the garden to them,” Dr. Gray-Steele noted, adding that there will be two garden types available through the project: the Girlfriend Garden, which is grown directly in the cultivated soil, and Nana’s Nutritional Garden, which is a raised bed box garden. Please fill out the form below to get started today!! We are so excited!

COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY
Learning core values and responsibilities such as integrity, honesty, spirit, and community service at this impressionable age will help produce the next minority generation of ethical citizens and farmers. NWIAA's new generation of agriculture educators must be persistent, consistent, and possess good leadership abilities in order to make a meaningful and tangible difference.
NWIAA’s classes, "Growing Character, Health, and Income from the Ground Up!" help remove generational barriers.
