Little Kitchen Academy, a Montessori-inspired cooking school for kids and Lettuce Grow are pleased to announce a new collaboration that will bring Lettuce Grow's Farmstand, an indoor self-watering, self-fertilizing hydroponic gardening system already in Little Kitchen Academy schools in Westfield Century City and Austin, TX, into every Little Kitchen Academy location in Canada and the U.S. by October 1, 2024.
"The Lettuce Grow team is delighted to be the exclusive system partner of Little Kitchen Academy. Lettuce Grow was founded because many of us have become very disconnected from our food sources. We have the power to change that, and it starts with educating children from an early age and empowering them to participate in the process of nourishing our bodies from scratch to consumption. Our Farmstand units are the ideal tool to incorporate this hands-on learning opportunity both at Little Kitchen Academy and in families' homes. Our own children have enjoyed classes at Little Kitchen Academy, and we are thrilled to introduce more families to Lettuce Grow through this partnership," note Lettuce Grow co-founders Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik.
"Our new partnership with Lettuce Grow aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and educating children about culinary education, food literacy and practical life skills," said Felicity Curin and Brian Curin, Co-Founders of Little Kitchen Academy. "We know that our Living Food Walls powered by Lettuce Grow offer our students the one-of-a-kind opportunity to fully have a farm-to-table experience when they participate in a three-hour class at LKA."
Every Little Kitchen Academy environment features a Living Food Wall that produces fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables for students to use in their recipes like basil, thyme, red leaf lettuce, arugula and more.
Incorporating Lettuce Grow's Farmstands into LKA's Living Food Walls is a sustainable, economical and educational way to continuously grow fresh herbs and produce in the environment.
