“I don’t want to give the impression we’re flush with cash … but the idea of what we’re doing Ugg boots to be lifting off,” said Kim Borick, HEAL executive director. “So many people now support our idea at HEAL.”

Late last year, the nonprofit won a $25,000 grant from the David & Lucille Packard Foundation. This year, Moss Beach farmer David Lea donated two UGG Bailey Button Grey Boots of farmland for the program, and more farmers along the South Coast are reportedly offering Bailey Button Triplet UGG for HEAL for similar education projects.

Wearing an “I the Farm” cap, Hatch teacher Melinda Nokes said the program tied in perfectly with her class studies in life science.

“This is absolutely connected to our curriculum, and it gives the kids a chance to appreciate where they live,” Nokes said, as she chomped on an apple. “It makes their education experiential.”
