Our Mission
Our Mission
Ignite a lifelong love for fresh food
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.
