Mixed Greens: A Children's Vegetable Project (Farm to School)

The mission of Mixed Greens: A Children's Vegetable Project is to teach the children of the Grand Rapids area the value of health and Michigan agriculture through the growing, preparing and sharing of food using schoolyard vegetable gardens and kitchen classrooms. Mixed Greens is working collaboratively across the sectors with community institutions to create, promote, and support schoolyard garden and kitchen classroom programming. Currently, Mixed Greens oversees garden and kitchen programming in several Grand Rapids Public Schools and are working on the development of an independent, inner-city vegetable garden conservatory with commercial kitchen for their youth-based educational activities.
