The Healthy Earth Organization's mission is to reconnect people to fresh food, nature, and community by cultivating ownership, opportunity, and stewardship throughout Southwest Florida.

Through hands-on programs and volunteer opportunities, we connect people to food, nature, and community while advancing:






































Cultiva is a community-driven farm focused on regenerative agriculture, workforce development, fresh food production, and community engagement. Through hands-on learning and sustainable farming practices, Cultiva is helping build a stronger local food system in Southwest Florida, with plans to expand into an indoor community marketplace that supports local growers and increases access to fresh food.

We offer hands-on garden programs that connect community members with fresh food, environmental education, and sustainable growing practices. Through our gardens, participants grow fresh produce while building skills and stronger connections to their community.

We host one beach cleanup per month with the help of community volunteers. The average amount of debris collected per cleanup is around 100+ pounds as we are still recovering from major hurricanes.

Nourish SWFL increases fresh food access and tracks health outcomes for low-income residents in Collier and Lee Counties by offering free produce for vulnerable participants, supported by data-driven strategies and community partnerships.

This fellowship program empowers young adults to become systems-thinking leaders through immersive, community-rooted environmental learning. Fellows gain hands-on experience growing fresh food, distributing it within their communities, and understanding the real-world challenges of building and sustaining resilient local food networks, while also engaging in ocean conservation efforts that protect and restore our coastal ecosystems.

Our Community Gaps initiative brings together local leaders, organizations, and community members to have honest conversations about the challenges our community is facing. Together, we identify gaps, share ideas, and explore ways to better collaborate and create real solutions.

In 2025, over 1,400 volunteers and 956 students took part in hands-on learning and service. Together, we removed 2,011.6 pounds of coastal debris and donated 1,000+ pounds of fresh produce, strengthening our Southwest Florida community through sustainability, education, and meaningful action.
