Fresh from the Farm

Children who learn to understand and appreciate the source and nature of their food are laying
the foundation for a healthier tomorrow. This quiet but powerful concept is at the core of Fresh from the Farm, an educational program of Seven Generations Ahead (SGA), which is on a mission to grow a culture of healthy eating and environmental awareness among children. Fresh from the Farm offers Curriculum (K-8)  and Educator Training and consulting for how to bring farm to school programming to your schools and community organizations.

Fresh from the Farm is also home to Truck Farm Chicago. Truck Farm Chicago is a biodiesel pickup truck with a mini-farm planted in its bed. This traveling, edible garden brings a unique, rural experience to urban students through educational programming, gardening and cooking demonstrations. Truck Farm Chicago, a creative and innovative project of Seven Generations Ahead and Green Sugar Press, prioritizes visits to Chicago's underserved communities and shows that good food can be grown anywhere there's sun, space, and creativity.
