OUR IMPACT:

Our Delicious Nutritious Adventures program fights obesity, promotes heart health, and decreases the risk for type 2 diabetes by teaching kids the importance of eating fruits and vegetables in a way that is fun and memorable.

Our Little Spears then in turn inspire their families to explore new foods by preparing our delicious and nutritious recipes at home.

Purple Asparagus isn’t just helping local kids and families today…
we are building a future of healthy and adventurous eaters for a lifetime.
