The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation is an Australian not-for-profit founded in 2004 by Stephanie Alexander AO.
Twenty years on, we are still advocating for the health and wellbeing of Australian children and young people, by tackling preventable health, wellbeing and planetary challenges early. Through fun, hands-on and inclusive food education, we empower children, young people and their communities to build positive lifelong skills in cooking, healthy living and caring for the planet.
We support educators to bring our globally-recognised Kitchen Garden Program to life in over 1000 schools and early childhood services nationwide. We also work closely with local partners on Community Initiatives to drive real, lasting change through the power of fresh, delicious and accessible food.

“Food education isn’t just cooking and gardening. It prepares a child for life, teaching them resilience, celebrating diversity and connecting communities.”
