Houston area farms have opened their arms and fields to hundreds of fourth grade students who participate in Recipe for Success Foundation programs. Even though the children have spent all year working in their own Recipe Gardens at school, most have never experienced anything like this. Atkinson Farms and Froberg Farms have been particularly generous--allowing the children to pick their own strawberries to take home and to harvest and wash fresh carrots, before taking a big chomp out of them.There is no better way to exemplify the journey their food takes from the farm to their own tables than getting our children out into the fields in order to participate in the process themselves.
Gracie Cavnar: April 2008 Archives
Dr. Mehmet Oz, with whom many of you are familiar through his appearances on Oprah and Good Morning America, was so 
impressed with the work of Recipe for Success Foundation, that he singled Gracie out for a special award and recognition at his annual HealthCorps benefit in New York.
HealthCorps is a foundation that Dr. Oz and his wife Lisa created to educate youth about the workings of their bodies and empower them to make good decisions. HealthCorps works with high school age students in New York, Florida and California and now Recipe for Success Foundation is helping to bring them into Houston schools, which will complement our own work with elementary school children.
