“Little Farmers”: Educational Program by BARBA STATHIS for creating and nurturing school gardens

BARBA STATHIS, in collaboration with Open Farm, is bringing sustainability, nutrition, and environmental awareness to the forefront by creating school vegetable gardens across Greece.

Through the “Little Farmers” initiative, primary school students get hands-on experience growing their own vegetables, reconnecting with nature, and learning about the role of sustainable farming in protecting our planet. The program offers immersive workshops on balanced nutrition, soil regeneration, and biodiversity, empowering kids to cultivate healthy habits while getting their hands dirty. 

BARBA STATHIS has long been committed to promoting healthy eating and shaping nutrition-conscious generations. With this exciting initiative, the company is strengthening its mission to prevent childhood obesity, inspire young minds, and turn schoolyards into green havens full of life. 

" The “Little Farmers” program is a meaningful step to bring young kids closer to sustainable food practices. At BARBA STATHIS, we're investing in the next generation through initiatives that spark environmental awareness, nurture a love for nature, and encourage healthy eating habits from an early age. Starting in Thessaloniki and expanding nationwide, the vision is clear: vegetable gardens blooming in every school across Greece!" stated Katerina Makridou-Oraiopoulou, ESG & Corporate Communication Director, BARBA STATHIS.
