Fern Creek Elementary School is located in Orlando, FL. Approximately 84% of our student population is on the free and reduced lunch program; 20% of our students are considered homeless. We have a weekend food program which provides non-perishable items to every student on the free/reduced lunch program. We are seeking local farmers to help us provide fresh fruits and vegetables to our children and their families.

ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
