About the Program: 

As part of a non profit dedicated to creating a thriving local food system, education and demonstration about how food gets from 'seed to table' is an extremely important lesson. The garden at GrowFood Carolina gives students the opportunity to learn about soil, seeds, plants, and foods. When the student then learns about the activities at the warehouse, they start understand the full cycle of our food system, so they not only appreciate how to grow fresh fruit and veg, but also what to look for in their grocery store.
