Curious amateurs working with soil

We are a lot of

CoFounder, Thomas Harttung

Courage & self enlightened interest

Self enlightened energy??

We simply want to raise the level of gastronomic lifequality by improving knowledge and reconnect human beings to nature and cultivated lands

Founded 6 years ago; now the snowball effect is here

We need to reboot our mindset in the way we act and Teach classroom oldfash??

Children need to get away from the pavement

&

Imagine that 52% of the children we met, had their first

kitchen experience with our relation –

10 years old!

Believe in coincidences What started as a desire for good energy on the farm, has now become a golden egg with commitment NB: And we are talking a non-profit idea

School gardens in a new way

Began on one farm (1150 kids have a garden) in ”Fredensborg” Now active in 4 municipalities and starting up in additional 4. National deployment vision & WE DID NOT START IT AS A CSR IDEA! Just because it was a great feeling

What´s special about that? 1/3 nature focus .. photo synthesis etc. 1/3 garden .. growing & harvesting 1/3 cooking .. meals the kids will see and taste again

8 farm days a year & essential that the children on the farms experience comfortability and incredibility

Got started by coincidence, happy kids learning

Saw the potential hmm, here is something & I want to make changes

Made it grow we like to see things develop / good people came running

Partnership with municipality they were just incredible brave

Researched the quality evidence by DPU, Professor Karen Wistoft

Started again at location no. II far from home, hard work

Wrote manual hired the clever researcher

THINK, Act, network, finance

Boom!!!! Is here to come

Chain Brain operation More to come:

Kinder garden local Flower project in first grade

Garden to stomach in 3. & 4. grade School kitchen and growing vedges locally in 6. grade

Growing fruit on schools in 8 grade

And the funny stuff - this not unrealistic and expensive

Research……

THE GOAL

National roleout Every child has the right to a vegetable garden and a small kitchen

magic + more

A dream is…when Children explore, in extreme coherenge, the nature, feel safe and happy, to the bone!! ..still dreaming about daily candy, and… when kids are jumping into deep soily water, while eating a carrot a day, inhalating juicing spirit througt light and sky in their daily life And thereby feel connected to something bigger than they could dream of Kids - Welcome to planet earth
