In honor of the legacies and lives of William White, Jr. and Gwendolyn Barjon, and with deep concern for the suffering and hope of impoverished, at-risk youth, The Evolved Network was created to honor the transformative power of brokenness into redemptive hospitality for both those offering it and for those receiving it.

Knowing that the strongest tissue is healed scar tissue, and that the broken are the evolved, we believe that youthful lives left with the scratch of a shattered existence can start from such scratch and create culinary masterpieces of their ways of being in the world through the farm to table event, such that they come to see themselves as unique gifts offering unique gifts to others. This process is life-changing for all persons involved, whether through learning the pragmatics of the culinary arts, hospitality and financial skills, or in coming to understand and embrace oneself with dignity, compassion and inspiration in the meaning and fulfillment of the culinary experience.
