Apple Seeds

Apple Seeds is a non-profit whose mission is to get students excited about fruits and vegetables through garden nutrition education. 

We have a farm where we host common-core aligned field trips and farm to table events with students. 

On our farm we grow produce for our school farmer's markets, which are a cheap access point to fresh food and a great learning opportunity. Our produce is also sold to Fayetteville Public Schools' Seed to Student Program. 

We host garden clubs at multiple schools and serve as a resource for teachers that are trying to engage their students in hands-on learning. We do so through on-site gardening consultations, by leading students in their gardens, and by hosting teacher workshops. Our last teacher workshop had over 70 participating teachers! 

We reach several thousand students a year, primarily from schools with over 50% free-reduced lunch rates. Our largest student population is hispanic. We also work with Marshall Islanders.
