Tucson Village Farm Youth Programs are part of Tucson Village Farm, which is a working urban farm and healthy living center and a seed-to-table program. The farm started in 2010. The mission of Tucson Village Farm is to reconnect young people to a healthy food system, teach them how to grow and prepare fresh food, and empower them to make healthy life choices, with a vision to cultivate healthy lifestyles, wellness, resilience, and sustainability in young people so they can be contributing members of their communities. Tucson Village Farm is a program of the Pima County Cooperative Extension and the University of Arizona, which strives to build sustainable relationships with sovereign Native Nations and Indigenous communities through education offerings, partnerships, and community service. Tucson Village Farm includes the Angel Charity for Children Culinary Education Center and has two farm sites referred to as the Little Farm and the Big Farm. A testimonial from First Lady Michelle Obama states, “You guys [Tucson Village Farm] are leading the way. You are doing great work!”
