Why give to the Food Literacy Project?

The Food Literacy Project educates through direct experience on Oxmoor Farm, allowing youth to discover firsthand the Field-to-Fork process and understand their role in a sustainable food system. This knowledge, along with the life skills of cooking and growing food, empowers youth to make healthy choices.

Supporting the Food Literacy Project demonstrates that you share our values for healthy children, a healthy community, and a sustainable food system. Your gift of any amount helps to bring the Field-to-Fork Experience to life for Louisville youth.
