Garden Volunteer Days

Join us in building out our 1-acre student garden and farm behind our cooking school in an urban lot that was once vacant! The open space was designed to improve health outcomes for children by teaching students how to grow their own food. It will be a place for students and families to learn, play, and explore. Your honeydew-help will get us closer to our goal of providing locally grown food to residents of an area categorized as a food desert. 

Please review our available slots:

‘The Farm is a Park!’ Days

Some days Food Literacy Center’s outdoor space is a farm, other days it’s a classroom, and sometimes it’s a public park – and you’re invited to visit!

Located directly behind our cooking school is a 1-acre multi-use farm, garden, and outdoor classroom designed to improve children’s health. It’s a place for students and families to learn play, and explore and complements our existing cooking and nutrition programs by providing access to and education around nature, gardening and farming.

Food Literacy Month
September 2023

In 2012, Food Literacy Center worked with the California Legislature to pass a resolution declaring September Food Literacy Month — a time to raise statewide awareness about the need for cooking and nutrition education for kids. In 2013, Yolo County, Sacramento County, and City of Sacramento also passed our resolution. In 2015, the State of Washington passed a resolution inspired by the California resolution we championed.
