Help us run Hip2B Healthy Market juice stand and market at two locations on Saturday, April 27. It's fun, you're contributing to helping kids love to be healthy!
We're at the Dodge Y for their Health Day, where we will make fresh orange juice and offer fresh fruit and maybe even have our blender bike. We will also be selling our tickets for Tastes of Brooklyn Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill Crawl for May 4th.
ALSO - we'll be out in Flatbush at the Central Brooklyn Expo on Diabetes and Health at Erasmus High School.
We need help to cook for everyone with fresh veggies, fruits, all plant-based!
Help us make soups, salads, anything delicious and healthy with a range of fresh fruits and vegetables.
You don't need to be a professional, just ready ready to cook healthy and do good.
Email us with what you can do.

Mission Statement
Seeds in the Middle partners with students, educators, parents & their communities to access all opportunities, beginning with improving health, enhancing arts education and greening their environment. We empower and educate all to get healthy and scale educational and social disparities. Our pilot schools are in central Brooklyn, a neighborhood with among the city’s highest obesity, diabetes, and heart disease rates. We teach how to grow, market, cook, access and prepare fresh food, how to exercise & engage in the arts, all the elements needed to promote life-changing lifelong health. Our volunteers come from all walks of life. We cross cultures. We transform gray into green, destitution into inspiration.
Description
Seeds in the Middle offers joyful, healthy interventions that nurture the whole child and address the multiple obstacles blocking low-income children and families from getting healthy. We teach how to grow edible gardens, run a student-led Hip2B Healthy Market, bring chefs into schools, started soccer, running and fitness programs at school and in the community and music and arts in the schools. We integrate professional development for teachers so that a healthy lifestyle and environmental stewardship becomes organic and sustainable in the school community. To build community, we created Soccer for Harmony tournaments and the Crown Heights Farmers Market. In two years, we have engaged more than 1,000 families, and students and teachers report changing their habits to include more fruits and vegetables, and fitness. This is a pilot for any school and Seeds in the Middle plans to replicate.
