Middle School

The Catskill Edible Garden Project, (growing the next generation of food entrepreneurs), works with area schools to create vegetable gardens that will increase access to healthy local food. The program is complemented with educational initiatives related to food resources, awareness of nutrition and agricultural or food related career options.

The Catskill Edible Garden Project offers the opportunity for a hands on youth development experience and exposure to food and agriculture as important aspects of our community, culture and potential career opportunities.

Rolling Hills Preparatory Schools mission is to create and maintain an organic garden through all stages, from planning, developing, planting, harvesting and composting. We work with students in all grades, some of whom have never gardened before. We have 28 raised beds in which each student is required to design, plant, and maintain his or her own garden for the trimester. We also assign community service to students that are interested in giving back to the community.

Youth & Summer Camp Groups are invited to meet Food Historian Michael Twitty as he tells the story of our living history through food. Mr. Twitty traces the backgrounds of heirloom seeds and present artifacts from plantations across the nation and the African diaspora. Student activities include planting the heirloom seeds and making their own ice cream! Lunch tickets can be purchased for $5 (a la carte items available). The event will be held at Atwood Community Gardens located at 779, Atwood Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 (West End Atlanta, GA.)

 We work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to provide nutrition education and improved access to healthy food in low-income communities.

We run Cooking Matters, a national program created by Share Our Strength, which is a free, hands-on cooking and nutrition series for low-income families. We collaborate with community partners such as schools, health clinics, food pantries, and community centers to make our food system more equitable, three square meals at a time.
