Generations Forward Learning Farm
Cultivating Roots, Growing Futures
The Generations Forward Learning Farm (GFLF) will be more than a farm—but rather a living classroom and that will be a vital piece to the region’s economic future. We are planning to develop a 13-acre property near Enterprise, Alabama, this hands-on learning campus connects youth and families to the land, food systems, and sustainable agriculture practices. We will operate with a diverse team of veteran farmers, educators, the farm will empower high school students, aspiring farmers, and community members with the skills to grow, nourish, and thrive—while tackling food insecurity and reviving local agricultural heritage. By weaving together traditional knowledge and modern innovation, GFLF strives to cultivate a resilient, healthy Wiregrass.
