My grandfather was involved with it through his church, I had a friend who worked with them, and I used to take school groups on field trips to their local "example" farm in Arkansas. It's an extremely successful approach to helping people become self-sufficient. Personally I think this would be a worthwhile group for Muslims to get in support of. I don't know of any such Islamic organizations that we have in place, but I believe if someone had the funds/time/initiative to take it on it would definitely be a great project as a zakat distribution and a dawa.
