Together with community volunteers and Sprouts Farmers Markets employees, we recently built 24 gardens at 24 schools across the country. As a foundation mission-driven to support and "sprout" school gardens, we're proud to call attention to this initiative on #worldfoodday.

Sprouts shoppers: Are you rounding up at the checkout? When you do, you're supporting the Sprouts Foundation and our mission to "sprout" school gardens. Your support means we can support educators and plant a valuable seed with young farmers about the importance of eating local.

For teachers growing school gardens, it takes a village. We're proud of the work SGSO Network does and happy to collaborate with them as often as we can -- including next year's Growing School Gardens Summit.

If you see a farmer's market table manned by teachers and students, buy something! Supporting the youngest growers in the community supports their love for producing and selling local goods!
