Food Literacy Project Community Engagement Coordinator

The Food Literacy Project (a nonprofit education partner to Field Day Farm, a commercial vegetable operation located in Louisville, KY’s Hikes Point Area), transforms youth and their communities through food, farming, and the land. Founded in 2006, we provide a hands-on Field-to- Fork Program, which includes student farm-based education, family engagement, professional development, community engagement, and youth development. In a time of great concern about rising obesity rates, lack of access to fresh foods, as well as the cultural disconnection between people, food, and the earth, we engage youth and families in creating a just and sustainable food system that cultivates healthy people and places. Participants empower themselves with skills to lead healthier lives and discover earth’s bounty through hands-on learning. Our outdoor classroom includes 8 acres of sustainably grown vegetable crops, raised bed gardens, greenhouses, farmers, rain gardens, a fruit orchard, and an outdoor teaching kitchen.
