Fund the Seed

$10,000 USD

Ok, if you really really love what we're talking about here, and you have the money and desire to support us at this level, you will be funding gardens for food and community, along with helping feed a seedling community that aims for nothing less than to re-image what work can be in our lives, and all the revolutionary implications thereof.
