Read Admire is thrilled to be at PHE teaching students about gardening, cooking, and environmental science. In 2007 Read spent time living on an organic farm in Costa Rica, studying with permaculture design experts and world class chefs. From there he completed a culinary apprenticeship at Circle Yoga Shala in NWA where he trained as an Ayurvedic chef. The most important thing he learned on both farms, he says, was that healthy food comes from healthy soil, and healthy soil is like well-designed architecture: it takes careful planning and construction. His next move was to build his composting business back home in Little Rock, The Urban Food Loop, thanks to a grant he received from the Clinton Global Initiative University program. His view is that food is the most powerful medicine and is excited to share his love of food and gardening with the students at Pulaski Heights Elementary.
