Seedleaf
exists to nourish communities by growing, cooking, sharing and recycling food. They are dedicated to improving healthy food access by maintaining community gardens where produce is shared with neighbors. Many of our Lexington neighbors live in food deserts where access to healthy food and transportation do not exist. This situation increases the risk for diabetes, obesity, malnutrition, and other chronic health problems.
