Love and Happiness Ranch is looking to improve the ranch and furthering its Back to Basics program. With this program we will be creating a community outreach program that produces a culturally diverse, self-esteem instilling, confidence boosting ranch, that teaches proper farming techniques, equine etiquette, and outdoor education (*farming and ranching through hands on demonstration). Through this program we will also be using aqua phonics and hydro phonics to create renewable energy and organic foods. Our mission is to focus on colleges and cities that are interested in reducing energy costs while creating jobs and producing "green" citizens and youth. Land and food sources are becoming scarce and or expensive, especially that of the organic nature. Work ethic, workmanship, and efforts of the "now" generation are becoming less visible. "Green" is the way to go, just as it was 50 to 100 years ago, but it takes hard work to encourage a green community. Love and Happiness Ranch brings multitudes of benefits to the community and surrounding areas, some of which include: "Back to Basics" A basic educational program designed to coach youth and college students in a variety of positive objectives using hands on learning to help sustain and grow, life skills for making them productive citizens for living and generations to come. Within this program we teach survival skills with hands on farming, raising grass-fed cows and equine etiquette techniques. All while instilling pride, self-esteem, positive social skills and goal setting. The students will learn how to grow organic foods using aquaponics and hydroponics and produce reusable energy. This is the process of growing Tilapia fish in tanks. The affluence is then filtered and used in growing fruits and vegetables without soil (hydroponically). Algae and duckweed are grown in photo bio reactor tanks, which are able to be used in the process of creating bio products such as bio fuels, thus creating our own form of energy. “I CAN PROGRAM” ASSISTANCE WITH BASIC EDUCATION ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING INTERVIEW SKILLS ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (POSITIVE SOCIAL BEHAVORIAL TRAINING) PROGRAM OBJECTIVES 1.

PROVIDE FOCUS AND DIRECTION "Community Outreach" Through the ranch's owner and his Native American culture, the ranch is often used as a breeding ground of happiness! We provide therapeutic services to veterans with PTSD. The animals and the hands on experience helps them to deal with and talk about their experiences, and with prayer and counseling we can help them get back to the quality of life they were accustomed to before serving in the military. Through the community and animals we can learn to love one another and our environment. We often host fellowships, mini-concerts, horseback riding, and cultural ensembles for surrounding organizations and communities. Future Projects "Aquaponics and Hydroponics" "Organic Foods" Providing education and access to dying breed of provisions, we will use aqua and hydroponics to provide a healthy lifestyle, grass-fed cows and organic produce for the students and the community. "Renewable Energy" using solar power and the process of hydroponics and aquaponics, we are able to produce and reuse the energy we create on the ranch, and hopefully in the future, across the community.
