The Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, commonly called FELC, is a non-profit organization that was established in 1994 designed to promote an appreciation and understanding of our relationship with the natural world, and encourage sustainable living practices. In 2004, FELC started Seeds of Hope Farm. The farm is a chemical free operation, raising vegetables, fruit, herbs and livestock products for the general public, farmer’s markets and wholesale customers in a sustainable agriculture system.
