Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids

Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids: School-based garden programs work! HFHK is more than radishes, turnips, and arugula. HFHK is on a mission to create a healthier future for today’s kids. Our Education Cultivation program is designed to assist schools in delivering curriculum that impacts three critical areas: nutrition and health, science learning, and life skills. Because our HFHK students participate in the school garden over several years and growing seasons, they grow in their understanding of gardening science and in their love of vegetables. We’ve seen these students progress from a spot where these vegetables are new and novel to them to a place where they are willing to experiment both in the garden and in the kitchen.
