Vegetable Fruit Garden Nutrient Testing and Development Charity is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to improving the nutrition, safety, and yield of home and community gardens. We translate practical science—soil testing, nutrient analysis, and simple cultivation methods—into tools that everyday growers can use to grow healthier vegetables and fruit.
Our Mission
To empower households, schools, and community gardens with evidence-based practices that boost plant nutrition, reduce waste, and make fresh food more accessible—especially for low-income and food-insecure families.
