Where it all began. Stonewall Farm, is a nonprofit working farm and educational center with a mission to connect people to the land and to the role of local agriculture in their lives.  True Nut Founder, Steve Ryder serves on the Board of the farm and while volunteering at the farm's Sap Gathering contest, he was inspired to make maple roasted almonds as a fundraiser for this annual event.  When he got home he started to work on the idea with wife Lucy and daughter Lauren and soon they perfected the recipe and the rest, as they say, is history.

There are philanthropic opportunities at these agencies.  Anyone interested in assisting with their efforts or contributing financially to the important work being accomplished by SCS and First Course is encouraged to contact them by clicking on their logos above.
