    1,000 STUDENTS ENRICHED

    Our hands-on S.T.E.M. microgreens and mushroom workshops have enriched over 520 New York City students, equipping K–12 learners with practical hydroponic and mycelium cultivation skills while fostering critical thinking and healthy eating practices.

    17 K-12 SCHOOLS SERVED

    We have partnered with 14 K–12 schools across NYC to bring innovative agriculture education directly into the classroom. Through engaging microgreens and mushroom programs, students explore science, sustainability, and food systems in a hands-on, impactful way. These collaborations help schools cultivate curiosity and empower the next generation of conscious leaders.
