The idea for Katie's Krops began with a 9 year old girl and a 40 pound cabbage. In 2008 Katie brought home a tiny cabbage seedling home from school as part of the Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program. She tended to her cabbage and cared for it until it grew to an amazing 40 pounds. Knowing her cabbage was special she donated to a soup kitchen where it helped to feed over 275 people. Moved by the experience of seeing how many people could benefit from the donation of fresh produce to soup kitchens, Katie decided to start vegetable gardens and donate the harvest to help feed people in need. Katie is now 12 years old and has numerous vegetable gardens. With the help of friends, a Master Gardener, residents of the local homeless shelter and supporters Katie's Krops has donated over 5,000 pound of healthy food to people in need. |
The goal of Katie's Krops is to have a vegetable garden in every state. We are looking to find motivated youth to start (with the assistance of Katie's Krops) and maintain vegetable gardens of all sizes where the whole harvest will be donated in people in need in their community. Gardens can be started at schools, homeless shelters, or in your backyard with a few planters.
