Sol Food Mobile Farm- A Growing Experience on Wheels!

Website

http://www.solfoodmobilefarm.org

The Idea

Sol Food Mobile Farm is a group of four dedicated friends who will be traveling around the country in a school bus converted to run on waste vegetable oil teaching workshops on square foot gardening, nutrition, composting, alternative fuels and environmental interaction.

The Specifics

The mission of Sol Food Mobile Farms (SFMF) is to serve communities in their own backyards! By recognizing that every community has a unique set of resources and skills, SFMF hopes to provide a meaningful gardening experiences for every site they visit. We hope that by providing workshops at no cost to schools and community centers we can empower the younger generation to be involved in their own food systems. In addition, we hope that these immersions in community gardening will foster an appreciation for healthy foods and nutrition. This money would fund the supplies for an entire garden in one of the eight cities we plan to visit, which includes soil, lumber, seeds, and tools.
