Our Mission

Our Mission

To inspire healthy living through garden-based education

What We Do

We create programs that educate and excite young students about healthy food AND increase students’ access to those healthy foods. 

Why We Do It

Because every student has the right to accessible, fresh, healthy food.

Because positive habits are more likely to persist into adulthood if they’re established before 6th grade.

And Because Our Students Need It

• Arkansas consistently ranks in the top 5 states in the nation for diet-related disease and childhood food insecurity.

• In Arkansas, only 1.2% of students are meeting the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables in a day.

• 49% of Arkansas adolescents report consuming fruits/vegetables less than one time a day.
