Our Mission

Our mission is to equip underserved children with the knowledge &  
the training to properly feed themselves for a lifetime.

​​Our Goals

• Improve food equity
• Reduce food insecurity by increasing access to nutritious foods in Cincinnati neighborhoods where access is limited
• Educate children about the benefits of proper nutrition 
• Distribute fresh fruits and vegetables to area school children who are nutrient insecure prior to school holidays and closures in an effort to close the meal gap
• Provide hands-on experience in traditional farming, raised bed farming & hydroponics.
• Create a SUSTAINABLE produce source in Cincinnati nutrient deserts

"Don’t give them a fish, teach them to fish"

WHY

• Academic outcome is determined by brain function which is determined by lifestyle habits and environment
• Health outcomes are determined by proper nutrition or lack thereof  & access to care
• The diseases & conditions most prevalent in populations living in concentrated poverty zip codes are preventable through proper nutrition and lifestyle habits (exercise & sleep)
• Lack of knowledge on food, food science & experiential learning
