Our Story 

Our mission is to empower families and individuals to grow their own food, while educating them on the benefits of fresh produce. With every Fresh Start kit purchase, a family who lives in a food desert and/or attends a Title 1 urban school in the Charlotte area is given an opportunity to grow their own fresh food.Pop Up Produce has organically grown because of our community’s care and compassion to work with us, join our vision, and create a better world. None of what we do is possible without our core civic engagement, strength and support of our community.

Community Planting Hubs

Our Fresh Start Kit owners and donors provide the means for our donated Kit resources to find homes at title 1 schools, community gardens, community and civic centers, all located within food deserts – areas where nutritious food is not readily available due to affordability, distance or access to grocery stores and supermarkets. Our sponsors and partners enable connections within our community, locating homes for our donated Kits. Our team of volunteers helps teach our donated recipients how to plant and grow. Working with community hubs, our donations spread across food deserts affecting more families, incorporate into educational lesson plans, and create a positive impact for the community.

"People follow passion." Pop Up Founder @amandatzullo showing the new class of #k880champs the story of Pop Up and what we've achieved in year one. Looking forward to what will unfold in year two and beyond. . . . #presentation #story #storytelling #shareyourstory #classroom #inspire #inspireothers #teachothers #weareallconnected #worktogether #collaboration
Lessons from the garden: must exert patience. The children love seeing the food come to life and eagerly ask us questions like, "Can we eat this now? Is it ready now?" Probably best to wait until these tomatoes turn ripe and red, but absolutely love their enthusiasm!
Excited to be back in Toronto for the next 5 days helping to guide and mentor the new class of #k880champs! We'll be sharing our experience on social so stay tuned! . . . #Repost @880citiesorg with @repostapp ・・・ Amanda Zullo’s passion project, Pop Up Produce, aims to bring healthy living practices to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. It works on two levels: to educate people on the benefits of fresh food, but also to hold workshops and events, teaching people how to grow their own food. #food #knightcities #communityengagement #ecc16
