4Roots Unearthing the Power of Food to Build Healthy Communities

4Roots is an Orlando based nonprofit community alliance dedicated to building a better food future and ending food insecurity in our community. In 2019, the organization began laying the foundation for its farm campus in the heart of Orlando to serve as a community crossroads where individuals and organizations work together to engage a holistic approach to food systems change, focusing on health, education, economic development, and sustainability.

This past school year, in partnership with Nemours Children’s Health, we launched Pre-K Days at 4Roots Farm: monthly days of enrichment for little ones ages 3-5 and their caregivers. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Over the past year, we welcomed 134 children to the farm for days filled with storybooks, hands-on activities, and healthy snack-making connected to agriculture and wellness themes. 

From discovering the important role of pollinators, to eating the colors of the rainbow, learning how worms help build healthy soil, and exploring solar energy, our littlest learners discovered big ideas through play, curiosity, and connection. 🐛🌈☀️

Thank you to Nemours Children’s Health for helping us create meaningful early learning experiences that plant the seeds for healthier futures in our community. 🌱

While Pre-K Days have wrapped for the school year, we’re excited to welcome more little learners back to the farm this Fall. Stay tuned for updates on the return of Pre-K Days programming!

Caring for the planet starts with caring for our food. 🌏🥬

When we honor the ingredients grown in our region, we naturally waste less, support local farms, and reduce our environmental impact.

This Earth Day, start small with these four simple ways you can take care of the planet by taking care of your food:

🥕 Reduce food waste
Compost ( is great for this) or repurpose your ingredients.

🧑‍🌾 Buy local & seasonal
Farmers markets, direct from farms, or our online market connects you to dozens of local farms.

🌱 Grow food
Start small with something you use often, like herbs!

🥗 Eat more plants
Eat one plant-based meal a week.

After years of dreaming, designing, and planning, we’re excited to celebrate the groundbreaking of The Stone Barn Event Center at the 4Roots Farm Campus! 🪏

In partnership with Orange County, Orlando Health, and so many dedicated supporters, this moment marks the start of a new chapter built to bring people together in meaningful ways.

Surrounded by a beautiful English-style garden, The Stone Barn Event Center will offer an elegant gathering space for up to 500 guests. Created for mission-aligned conferences, weddings, celebrations, and special events, the space will connect indoor and outdoor experiences with the natural beauty of the farm.

More than a venue, The Stone Barn will help support the mission of 4Roots by creating sustainable revenue that fuels education, experiences, and a healthier food future for our community. 🥬

This day means more than just breaking ground. It is the beginning of a new chapter of memories, connections, and impact that will grow here for years to come.

The future is growing here. 🌱

Take a walk through our Market Garden with Mike from ! 🌱

The Market Garden at the 4Roots Farm Campus is a collaborative effort shared with our friends at Everoak Farm. This garden grows food regeneratively, meaning every crop helps return nutrients to the soil, leaving the land healthier while producing nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables. 🥬

Here, everything grows in harmony. Using a method called syntropic agroforestry, we plant diverse crops that work together to support biodiversity, protect the soil, and mimic the natural layers of a forest.

Every harvest from this garden helps nourish families through our Meet the Need program and is also available to the public through and our Mobile Farmers Market, which accepts SNAP/EBT; making fresh, locally grown food more accessible across our community. 🫜

This video was filmed just before the recent freeze. We’re looking forward to seeing these canopy lines returning back to this lushness in the coming season!
