About the 'Backyard Garden Project'
A hands-on teaching ranch of Your Catholic Voice Foundation —
bringing real farming skills back to families, kids, and schools.
From a global online school reaching 2.1 million students to a living classroom on the land.
Rooted in Education, Grown on the Land
The Backyard Garden Project is an initiative of Your Catholic Voice Foundation (YCVF.org) — the same nonprofit behind Catholic Online School, which serves over 2.1 million students in 193 countries.
Montana Ranch and Cattle Company is part of the Foundation and is being developed as a living, hands-on teaching ranch right here in Kern County.
We believe every child deserves to learn the lost art of growing food, caring for animals, and building self-reliant families — just like our grandparents did.
What We’re Building
- A real working ranch classroom for kids, families, and schools
- Hands-on training in gardening, cattle care, chickens, composting, irrigation, and water wisdom
- A place where students turn lawns into food-producing backyards that can feed a family of 4–6 all year long
This isn’t theory — it’s practical, joyful, life-changing learning.
