About This Organization

1508994_254915251345258_346257411_nGardeneers helps schools support effective garden programs to improve nutrition education, strengthen communities, and promote environmental stewardship. They visit schools on a weekly basis to assist with instruction and lead after-school activities, helping students take care of their own garden from seed to table, so that they learn the entire process of how food is grown. They assist schools with Chicago’s “Eat What You Grow” program, helping schools follow food safety guidelines and precautions to ensure that food from the garden is safe to eat. Students are free to taste the produce they grow, and garden produce is often sent home with families or incorporated into the school cafeteria menu.

    ABOUT THE GUIDE

    The James Beard Foundation, Food Tank, and Valrhona, along with a prestigious advisory group of food system experts, developed the “Good Food Org Guide.”

    This definitive Guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.

    Only nonprofit, scholarly, and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy, and service.
