A lot of students learned how to cook healthy whole foods at The Kitchen House in 2025! But our goal is bigger.

In 2027, we want to bring 400 kids to The Kitchen House to give them the skills to eat well for a lifetime–for free. We can’t do this without community support, so come take a garden-to-kitchen class, bring a friend who’s never heard of us, and consider making a donation so we can share this experience with the kids who need it most.

Summer belongs to our campers at The Kitchen House!

Camps are in full swing, with kids exploring the garden and discovering confidence and curiosity in the kitchen. All while learning to love real food that’s really good for them!

There are still some spots left for our July 6th-10th summer camp, where campers cook their way around the world each day of the week. Link in bio to sign up!

Welcome back, Rock Lake Neighborhood Center!

This was such a successful program with City of Orlando City of Orlando Families, Parks and Recreation in 2025, we just had to repeat it in 2026! These students will come to The Kitchen House three times to learn how they can cook the ingredients growing in their Neighborhood Center garden, and go home with tools to practice with their families.

We can’t host programs like these without community support. Your gift helps students grow–link in bio.

Summer heat is here, so let’s water smart!

💧Water deeply 2–3 times a week, rather than frequent, shallow waterings
💧Use mulch to prevent evaporation and keep your water in the soil
💧Feel the dampness of the soil before choosing whether to water–especially after a summer storm!
