Sprouting Food Education and Appreciation in Local Schools

In this episode, I sat down with Carter Edwards, the Youth Internship Program Project Manager at Green Heart Project, a farm-to-school non-profit based in Charleston, SC with the mission to grow, celebrate and eat food. After majoring in public health, Carter discovered her passion for food education when eating at a farm-to-table restaurant that sourced all its produce locally from Green Heart. Her life aligned with an internship and then a full-time job with them. Since then, she has helped grow their internship program, giving students the opportunity to build an urban farm, further their food education and develop lifelong culinary and life skills.
