Featured: Orlando Students Help Grow One Million Tomatoes for Community Gardens and Food Banks

The U.S. Composting Council’s Million Tomato Campaign is still in it's early stages, especially in the Midwest, where it's still pretty cold to think about tomatoes. It's definitely understandable that Florida would get a bit of a headstart on us. However, we find this story very impressive. Students from Orlando are working to help the campaign.

This workshop for the program is a great exemplary program because it displays every stage represented by the campaign. The students will grow the tomatoes, sell them at the farmer's market, and learn to cook fresh recipes with them. The students will kick off the program by learning about compost and it's numerous benefits to their tomato seeds.

Our Work With Education

We're happy to work with people from all sectors, but recently we got a chance to visit a couple of schools who are currently working to implement GreenRU in their school Cafeterias. Today we just wanted to share with you this snapshot we got of one of the workers at Pella Community School District.
