What is Fresh Roots?

Our schoolyard farms are the fertile ground for both delicious food and powerful learning. Founded by passionate farmers and food sharers in 2011, Fresh Roots has grown to practice and inspire not only sustainable, community-centered farming, but place-based experiential learning and youth empowerment. We provide kids and youth the space to explore what they are capable of while building deep relationships with food, the land, and each other. We provide meaningful employment experiences for the young adults we hire as farmers and educators, and prepare youth in our programs to step up into leadership positions.

We are part of an interconnected network of food growers, educators, and community members, who are working to create a just and sustainable food system. By partnering with schools and school districts, we take under-utilized land in heavily developed cities and transform it into thriving biodiverse agroecosystems. In doing so, we increase the availability of fresh local produce available to our neighbours. We also create dynamic inclusive learning spaces for people of all ages, but especially children and youth, to learn about food and the ecological and human systems that support the food we all depend on.
