“SustainEd Farms is a 501 nonprofit that works specifically with Denver Public Schools. What we do is help maintain school gardens,” said Matt Suprunowicz, co-founder of SustainEd Farms. “We teach students about sustainability and nutrition using the gardens and then we distribute all the food to food insecure communities across Denver.”As a former teacher in Oklahoma, Petersen saw the challenges firsthand.
The team of volunteers at SustainEd Farms handle several tasks including weeding gardens, organizing sheds, and painting new signage. It’s people like Petersen that keep the organization going smoothly and her colleagues could not agree more.
