About the foundation

A farm-based nonprofit centered on healing, skill-building, and community service.

Bloom and Breathe Foundation is being developed as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in Meridian, Idaho to support youth and young adults through horticultural therapy, mentorship, regenerative agriculture, and community food production.

Mission

Our mission is to create a regenerative farm where youth and young adults facing mental health challenges find peace and healing through horticultural therapy, gain work and life skills through mentorship, and build confidence and self-esteem while working in nature to provide food for the community.

Vision

We envision a community where young people have access to caring mentors, restorative outdoor spaces, practical work opportunities, and the dignity of contributing to something that nourishes others.

Nonprofit clarity

Public benefit, stated plainly.

Bloom and Breathe Foundation is organized for charitable and educational purposes, including mental health support through horticultural therapy, youth mentorship, job and life skills training, regenerative farming education, lavender field development, and community food production. Programs are designed to serve the public good without private benefit or exaggerated claims.

Dignity

Every participant is met as a whole person with strengths, agency, and room to grow.

Stewardship

We care for soil, food, resources, and relationships with patience and responsibility.

Mentorship

Learning happens side by side through trust, consistency, and meaningful work.

Community

The food grown and skills built on the farm are intended to strengthen neighbors and local partners.
