Seeds In The Middle Giving Tuesday

Seeds In The Middle is back this fall, and we are already requested by 18 schools across Brooklyn! Check out our map here to see where we already are this year, and where we have been requested by principals to offer a youth-run farm stand! 

Take Action for Food Justice

Seeds in the Middle invites you to empower our low-income, food-insecure neighbors to create their own farm stands, farmers markets, edible gardens and healthy cafes so everyone has access to healthy options no matter where they live. 

At Seeds in the Middle we believe everyone - no matter where you live - deserves the chance to lead a healthy life with nearby affordable fresh food, fun fitness, and nutritious cooking. We offer support in building small business, growing edible gardens, engaging in the arts, and bolstering quality education for all!

We welcome everyone to join this mission. Only this way do we rise together and enable everyone to have an equal chance to get past this pandemic.

Please volunteer and/or donate!

We are honored to partner with NYC and national leaders in education, social justice and equity, health and more for sustainable, positive, healthy change. Super gratitude to the National Black Leadership Commission on Health, aka Black Health, for inviting Seeds in the Middle to join the NYC Diabetes Working Group to advise the NYC Department of Health on ways to effectively reduce the tragically high rates of diabetes among New Yorkers of color.
