The New York Mets, longtime supporters of GrowNYC, have donated a baseball signed by star slugger Juan Soto for one lucky GrowNYC donor! The Mets champion Seed to Plate, our curriculum teaching NYC youth about healthy food and the environment.
Read on to find out how you can enter to win this highly sought-after ball as well as two tickets to a 2026 Mets game!*
Seed to Plate programming at PS 135Q
Setting the scene: Fourth grader Jayleen stared at the rainbow of fruits and veggies on her desk. Today, she was discovering their secret powers:
Orange carrots for strong eyes
Green broccoli for strong bones
Red strawberries to help fight off sickness.
Then, Jayleen got her hands dirty making her own healthy snack. She and her classmates worked together to chop and dice fresh produce onto plates to share. They learned about where the food came from and the farms that grew it.
Jayleen felt proud creating something healthy, colorful, and delicious all by herself.
Why it matters: This is Seed to Plate, GrowNYC’s curriculum that connects NYC school children to fresh, nutritious food. Through engaging lessons, field trips, farmer visits, guest chefs, and hands-on cooking, students learn how their food is grown and how it affects their bodies, communities, and the planet.
A huge thank you to the Amazin’ Mets Foundation for supporting Seed to Plate and making moments like these possible. 
The big picture: Your support of GrowNYC ensures that more children like Jayleen can taste, touch, and experience the power of fresh, local food.
