Grow Your Own Food
Grow Your Own Food
Our upcoming “Grow Your Own Food” project is designed to empower Jamaicans to take control of their food supply easily and affordably, irrespective of available backyard space. The Grow Your Own Food (GYOF) initiative is two-fold. First, we’re bringing green gardens to schools and public spaces. Our inaugural garden, established in partnership with Salada Foods, opened at Jebb Memorial Basic School in Kingston, May 2024.
Second, we’re empowering Jamaicans in September 2024 to grow their own food at home with our GYOF kits. These convenient, reusable aluminium tins contain a variety of 20 different seeds – from herbs to vegetables and fruit trees – along with growing medium and easy-to-follow instructions. Our aim is to make home gardening accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of space. By providing user-friendly plant kits and offering free seedlings, we’re committed to fostering self-sufficiency and enhancing food security within our communities.
