Seedleaf exists to nourish communities by growing and sharing food. More than ever, people lack connection. Seedleaf does its best work when neighbors share work and food and come together over common tasks and needs. As neighbors and volunteers join together in our 11 u-pick community gardens, they grow connections: to one another, to the soil, to their food, to themselves. These connections cultivate meaning and a sense of belonging. They bear untold fruit through the growing seasons to come.
But connected isn’t all Seedleaf works to address. Food insecurity throughout our service areas is common. Many Lexington residents live in what are called “food deserts,” places within a community where a concentrated number of households lack a car and are further than a half mile from a grocery store. Food insecurity and the inability to obtain healthy food puts adults and children at an increased risk for diabetes, obesity, malnutrition and many other diet-related health problems. We work to increase our neighbors' access to healthy food — one free, u-pick garden at a time.
