Calling all foodies! Tantalize your taste buds and fuel the next generation! FRESHTOBERFEST is Cleveland's youth garden battle!

Local chefs are paired with youth gardens for a tasting competition and fresh food celebration. Fill your tummy with healthy goodness and cast your vote to decide who has the freshest taste, presentation, and educational impact!

Our Mission: We motivate and empower youth to grow fresh food in their neighborhood or school garden and challenge them to become creative, healthy leaders.

How This Works: We found local chefs who are passionate about empowering youth to grow fresh and eat fresh. They help students prepare the food grown in their own community or school garden. At a few of these gardens, Dee Jay Doc and the Fresh Camp helped students create songs about their gardening experience that would motivate others to eat FRESH, live FRESH and be FRESH! Check out "Fresh Guys" by students from the Glenville Fresh Camp: freshcamp.org

Shirts from our fresh food line of hand printed clothing line will be available for sale. All proceeds send students to Fresh Camp.
