What our Partners have to say

The Wonky Produce Farmer’s Market at Ponderosa Elementary was a great success! The students were enthusiastic and eager to help! The families greatly appreciated the free produce and were excited to talk about why wonky produce is important to eat. Thanks very much to all the organizers from Outside2Inside for making the event happen!

The people at the organization are incredibly passionate when it comes to accomplishing their goal of reducing, reusing, and recycling food waste and our team learned a tremendous amount from working with them.
