Welcome to Roots for the Home TeamTM
– dishing up new dreams and better health for youth.
Roots for the Home Team puts the fun of healthful foods back on forks while creating life-enhancing, influential opportunities for youth. We partner with youth garden programs in ethnically diverse areas of the Twin Cities. Using their produce grown as ingredients, and their inventive nature to help develop the recipes, together we sell delicious salads at Target Field on Minnesota Twins’ Sunday home games.
Roots for the Home Team–
Kids. Grins. Delicious foods. Impressionable opportunities.
