Mission:

Shepherd.com is a collaborative website geared toward youth who want better food in their schools and communities. It aggregates news, tips, and action guides from other youth-oriented food web sites. For example, if a student wants to start a garden on campus or serve local food in their cafeteria shepherd.com will tell him how.

How Sparkseed helps:

“We are most excited about web support and consulting from Sparkseed. We know good oversight is crucial to our venture and am thankful that Sparkseed is providing it.”
