Welcome to the Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids website, where you can get the 'skinny' on school vegetable gardens and healthy eating!

We want to share our passion for fresh produce and vegetable gardening with youth and adults of all ages!  More and more of our youth are becoming disconnected from where their food comes from, and how important and easy it is to incorporate fresh vegetables into their diets.  Our job is to bridge that gap by giving students an interactive experience that combines grade-level appropriate lessons with hands-on gardening fun! 
 
Our mission is to design and implement food and garden-based educational programs for Delaware schools that support content standards and promote student health. 
 
Our vision is to inspire and motivate youth to develop lifelong wholesome eating habits by experiencing the joy of growing, cooking, and eating garden-fresh vegetables.
