Diverse community cooking and gardening together

Culinary Earth Educational Foundation

Nourish the community. Feed the future.

We teach people of all ages and backgrounds how to grow it, cook it, and share it — because when we gather around food, good things happen.

"Food is the most universal language we share."

— Culinary Earth Foundation

Who we are

Gardens, kitchens, and community

Culinary Earth Educational Foundation builds and maintains community gardens — including small-scale urban gardens across Indianapolis — and provides garden, culinary, nutrition, and food education, including hands-on cooking classes for all ages. We create service opportunities for Master Gardeners and other volunteers.
