Schools Program
We work closely with local schools to help educate students on vegetables, how to recognize, how to grow, and how best to cook.
The vegetable to meat ratio used to be 70% / 30%, but over the years this ratio has become reversed. Many families rely on fast food for nourishment, and many countries are seeing increasing numbers of obese folks as a result of a deficient diet. There are now families where the parents are not familiar with raw foods, and as a result vegetables are not part of the family diet.
Read what the Surgeon General is saying about our kids and diet.
The life expectancy of our children is going down as a result of these dietary changes.
We want to assist schools with programs to help with this education, with practical assistance and to encourage schools to create their own vegetable gardens.
We see eating the right food is a family affair, and with QR Seeds approach to growing the whole familiy can grow better quality food, at home, cheaper.

We are also interested in hearing from Parents and Teachers groups for our soon to be released adult education program.

Dear QR Seeds,
I want to thank you for the donated seed and soil for our student gardens. Without support from businesses like yours many hands on activities would only be a dream.
Students learn real world lessons when they experience it first hand. I cannot tell you how often that this will be a first time for a student to grow anything and start to understand the process of growing food, the value of nutrition and the life learning needed to propel this country into the 21st century.
Thank you
Respectfully,
Peter J.

We have a friend in the QR Seed company as we were fortunate to recieve gratis, a load of pesticide/fungicide-free Florida Muck. It has greatly enhanced our sandy soil garden to where we now have a wide variety of produce growing. We were also the benefactors of over a dozen seed types and are now growing lettuce, cukes, beans, greens, radishes, and cabbage. All this as a result of a vision, to promote healthy eating habits among school aged kids. We are fortunate to have a committed partner in education.

Jamie Oliver has done fantastic work in the UK, and we hope that we can get a chance to work with him in the USA. He recently received a TED award.
At the moment, we are working with local schools, and if you would like to talk to us about our schools program please leave us a message.
