Seeds in the Middle empowers students, schools and their communities in food deserts and beyond to create healthier places to live and learn to address vast disparities in health, education and socioeconomic status.. We teach how to grow food, create Hip2B Healthy fresh markets, cook nutritiously and deliciously, get fit and engage in the arts - all elements to nurture the whole child. We work with schools to tie all into curriculum, improving not only health, but academic achievement and self-confidence in our youth. We engage partners and volunteers from all walks of life to build locally-run sustainable businesses for positive change.. Youth are our change-makers. We transform gray into green, destitution into inspiration.
