Bringing people together to grow, cook, and share nourishing food with the goals of cultivating community and alleviating hunger in our city.
In our gardens and orchards, we grow food and share resources with others interested in growing their own food.
In our kitchens, we use recovered, donated and garden-grown food to prepare and cook made-from-scratch meals.
In our community, we share nourishing meals in partnership with local poverty-disrupting nonprofits and community groups.
Summer offers children a welcome break from school, but hunger does not follow the academic calendar. When classrooms close, many families lose access to the dependable meals their children receive during the school year. Sweet Peas helps keep nourishing food within reach until those familiar school-day routines return.
Thanks in part to the support of our longtime partner Jackson Financial, Inc., we were able to provide nourishing meals to children across Middle Tennessee throughout the summer.
Nourish 2026 was a powerful celebration of food, community, and connection. From a beautifully collaborative meal prepared by top chefs to stories that highlighted the heart of our mission, the evening brought people together around a shared table and a shared purpose—to nourish Nashville.
Together, their rhythm has been simple and steady. One experimenting. One anchoring. Both caring deeply about the meals that leave the kitchen.
