Growing Chefs! Ontario was founded with two main goals in mind:
• To provide an avenue for chefs and growers to engage in the community and to support food sustainability.
• To support and encourage the development and growth of children’s urban agriculture.
We aim to create a forum for chefs, educators, growers, community groups and families to work together to further awareness of food sustainability.
Most importantly, we wish to inspire children with the idea that they can grow their own food, even in the city.
Growing Chefs! pursues our program goals through:
Classroom Gardening Project- an in-class vegetable gardening and cooking program.
Community Outreach - engaging with the community at local events and forums.
