Earth Heart Growers

Earth Heart Growers A farm-to-school initiative designed to connect students to the earth.

This page is for Earth Heart Growers, a community project designed and implemented by Liz Ramirez, and Helen & Joseph of Joseph Fields Farm. We're working with the Charleston County Public Schools to initiate a farm-to-school program, bringing children to the farm once weekly for the fall and spring growing season to learn what it means to grow your own food, care for the animals, and prepare a meal for your friends. We began with a soft launch in 2016 with our pilot program at Hursey Elementary, and will expand to include 3 pilot schools come fall. The intention is to unite the family with the farmer, creating an awareness around healthy eating that will last a lifetime. We seek to enhance the educational offerings at the school and to create a dynamic program that integrates farming, school gardens and the home arts.

🌾 Full circles and fresh harvests! Today, Earth Heart Growers brought Hursey Montessori students out to Joseph Fields Farm for an unforgettable farm-to-table experience.
The students got their hands dirty harvesting beautiful organic produce, then cooked a spectacular meal together with the guidance of Chef Director Gabby Smithβ€”who actually graduated from Hursey herself! πŸ‘©β€πŸ³βœ¨
To wrap up a beautiful community meal, the students lent their creative talents to paint recycled sunflower decorations 🌻 for the upcoming Fields Farm Fest on Saturday, November 14! 🚜
Thank you to Mr. Joseph Fields, Chef Gabby, and everyone who made today so special. Connecting youth to the earth is a beautiful thing. 🌍❀️

Planting seeds for a better future starts in our schools.
School gardens do more than grow fruits and veggies β€” they cultivate responsibility, teamwork, and a deeper connection to nature.

When kids get their hands in the soil, they learn science, sustainability, and self-reliance in the most hands-on way possible.

Let’s support garden programs that nourish both minds and bodies. Because every child deserves the chance to grow β€” in every sense of the word.
Special thanks to our donors and
