Access to Healthy Food is a Basic Human Right
Real hydroponic farms growing inside SE Kansas schools and communities — fresh food, hands-on STEM, and weekend meals for the families who need them most.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the health of communities impacted by inadequate nutrition through hands-on education and innovative agricultural production. By focusing on nutrition education and providing partners with a source of fresh food, we are impacting the health and eating habits of entire communities.
Plant
We establish hydroponic farms inside schools and community spaces across SE Kansas.
Grow
Students and neighbors learn hands-on agricultural science alongside our farm educators.
Harvest
Communities receive fresh produce, plus the skills to keep growing it themselves.
Programs
Three ways we get fresh food, and the skills to grow it, into the communities that need them most.
Backpack Program
Weekend grocery support for students and families, so no child goes hungry when school isn't in session.
