FEEDING GUILFORD COUNTY ONE MEAL AT A TIME...
Food disparity in urban food deserts is a pressing issue affecting children's health and development. Access to nutritious food is crucial for their growth, learning, and overall well-being. By closing this gap, we can ensure that children receive the essential vitamins and minerals they need to thrive. Investing in local resources and community programs can help create a healthier future for our kids, empowering them to grow stronger and succeed.

A WELL-BALANCED GARDEN
Items are based on seasonality, harvest, and availability.

FRESH VEGETABLES
Wide variety of leafy green vegetables, broccoli, onions and peppers, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, zucchini and string beans, eggplant beets, corn, okra,
and more!

SEASONAL FLOWERS
Our newest partner will beautify the garden with fragrant
flowers to improve pollination and broaden our reach and sustainability.

FARM RAISED EGGS
Locally produced, farm-raised eggs are fresh and nutritious, often containing higher levels of essential vitamins and omega-3s than store-bought alternatives.

SEASONAL HONEY
As a part of our sustainability initiative, we are partnering with local beekeepers for delicious products and training so that we can eventually sell fresh honey at pop-up markets for a fair price.

FRUIT ORCHARD
We are expecting
a Summer filled with Blueberries, Blackberries, Watermelon, and Strawberries and our first harvest of Apples, Pears, and Figs in Fall 2025

TEAS & HERBS
Bring out the flavor in your kitchen with fresh Mint, Lavender, Rosemary, Cilantro, Parsley, Lemongrass, Sage, Basil and Thyme


A GROCERY STORE RUN SHOULDN'T TAKE
3 HOURS...
For people who live in food deserts, without transportation, the journey to the grocery store can take hours. From walking to and from bus stops, switching buses, and waiting in lines. the time adds up quickly. The PDY&F Food Garden is committed to making fresh fruits and vegetables more accessible for all of our citizens.
