Story and History

Seeds of Solidarity Farm and Seeds of Solidarity Education Center, Inc. were founded by Ricky Baruc and Deb Habib. Baruc and Habib met in 1984 while working at the New Alchemy Institute on Cape Cod MA, a small international organization whose purpose was to “design human-scale, low polluting alternatives to super technology and to design and test intensive food growing methods.”

Amazing Funders and Supporters

Our Education Programs have been made possible over the years through grants and donations from The Green Leaf Foundation, and contributions from individuals like you.

Community

Seeds of Solidarity is based in the nine-town North Quabbin region of Western/Central Massachusetts. It is rich with natural beauty and hardworking people, and one of the poorest regions in the state.

DEVELOPING LIFE LONG SKILLS

We have a long and vibrant history of helping schools establish school gardens locally and throughout the Northeast. School gardens are a wonderful way to engage students in developing life-long skills for food resiliency, health, and healing through connecting to the earth and each other.

School gardens and composting programs are an exciting element of the growing “Farm to School” movement.
