Hope Farms HTX Urban farm: produce delivery, on-site markets, farmer training, cooking/gardening classes & camps WHY HOPE FARMS?

Hope Farms is a critical project to achieve our goal to make healthy food equitably available to Houstonians. Our seven-acre site, in the shadow of downtown, is where we grow affordable, healthy produce, offer an on-site farm store and home produce delivery, train new urban farmers and provide a place for the entire community to learn about and celebrate fresh, locally-grown food with cooking and

gardening classes for all ages and events to celebrate the harvest. Recipe for Success Foundation was founded in 2005 to combat childhood obesity by changing the way children understand, appreciate and eat their food and to educate and mobilize the community to provide them with healthier diets. We are transforming lives in Houston and beyond by making healthy food fun, tasty, affordable, easy and accessible with programs that teach, empower and inspire healthy eating. Recipe for Success Foundation's Hope Farms project is made possible with funding from USDA, The Duncan Family Foundation, Wells Fargo, United Healthcare Foundation, the Clay Family, Suzanne and John Fain, Cigna Healthcare, John Deere, Walmart Foundation, Simmons Foundation, Boeing Employees, Luby's Fuddruckers, the Cavnar Foundation, Coca Cola Foundation, Mahindra, The Mission Continues and many others.

ZUCCHINI: Zoodles, fries, boats… zucchini does it all! 😉

Zucchini is low in calories but high in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, making it a healthy and hydrating veggie for growing kids! Its high water content makes it super hydrating on warm days and zucchini is actually a type of summer squash, and you can eat it raw, roasted, or even spiraled like noodles!

Cooking Tip: Sprinkle with a little salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess water before cooking.

Halve zucchini, scoop out the center, fill with marinara and cheese, then bake until bubbly for a fun and healthy zucchini boat or spiral zucchini into noodles, sauté lightly with olive oil and garlic, then top with marinara or cheese for a healthy, low-carb pasta!! 🍝

- Chop green beans and add them to mini quiches

EGGPLANT: Hidden veggies, happy tummies 😋

Eggplant contains antioxidants such as nasunin, found in the purple skin, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and manganese. Because it is naturally low in carbohydrates and contains mostly water, eggplant can be a hydrating and heart-friendly addition to balanced meals!

Chef's Recommendations:
- Roasted eggplant cubes tossed in mild marinara and mixed into pasta
- Baked eggplant sticks with ranch
- Dice eggplant small and mix it into taco meat for a hidden veggie boost
- Add finely chopped eggplant to meatballs to keep them juicy and tender

MUSHROOMS: The ultimate flavor enhancer! 🍄

Did you know? They're the ONLY vegetarian source of vitamin D on the planet - while 1 BILLION people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency!

Mushrooms contain minerals like selenium, copper, and potassium, which support immunity, metabolism, and healthy nerves. Fun fact: Some varieties of mushrooms can glow in the dark!

CARROTS: Crunch time!! 🥕

Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant your body converts into vitamin A, which is essential for good vision and eye health. Regularly eating carrots supports night vision, helps protect your eyes from oxidative stress, and contributes to overall eye wellness.

Enjoy roasted carrots with a maple glaze, eating them raw with your favorite hummus or yogurt dip, and even add some grated carrots to muffins, or cake because vegetables deserve a little sweetness too!! 😉

SWEET POTATO: Naturally sweet and full of goodness! 🍠

Sweet potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, which provide steady, long-lasting energy for kids and adults alike. They are high in dietary fiber, which supports digestion, promotes satiety, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Roast and score the sweet potato halves, add a chili honey lime seasoning and enjoy as a side dish for any meal! Mash with a little cinnamon or cut into sticks for sweet potato fries or make an easy taco bowl with diced sweet potatoes, taco beef and your favorite toppings!!

Dinners never looked so easy! 🍽️

KOHLRABI: The Vitamin C Powerhouse That Outshines Oranges!

Did you know? This quirky bulb packs MORE vitamin C than oranges - making it nature's secret iron absorption enhancer! Kohlrabi also contains potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure and proper muscle and nerve function, as well as magnesium and calcium, which are important for bone health! 🦴

Roasting kohlrabi cubes with a little olive oil and mild seasoning brings out natural sweetness that kids love. You can shred it raw into slaws for sandwiches or tacos, or layer it in baked casseroles for added texture and nutrition. For a playful twist, try making kohlrabi “fries” by cutting it into sticks, lightly seasoning, and baking until crispy!!
