Rocket Fuel

This product was inspired by Neutrog’s ongoing involvement with numerous primary schools and their vegetable gardens throughout Australia over many years. The sheer joy these gardens give to so many kids has us hooked!!

Neutrog has formed a partnership with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, developing this organic fruit and vegetable fertiliser to support their work nationally.

Rocket Fuel is supplied free of charge to primary schools participating in the Foundation’s Kitchen Garden Program, with a percentage of retail sales of this product furthering the Program nationally.

The name Rocket Fuel was selected from thousands of suggestions put forward in a national competition to name the product.

Neutrog is excited to bring you a great product which will help young kitchen gardeners around Australia.

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation

Established in 2004, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation exists to pleasurably engage and educate young children in growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing delicious and healthy food.

The Foundation believes early intervention is essential if children are to build the values, skills and understandings to develop life-long joyful and healthy eating habits. The mission and purpose of the Foundation is expressed through the flagship Kitchen Garden Program.

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program

“This is real scrape-the-bowl and dirt-under-the-fingernails learning and the kids love it.” Stephanie Alexander

As participants in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, students discover the pleasures of hands-on food education, through regular classes in a productive vegetable garden and a home-style kitchen classroom.

Students learn to build and maintain a garden according to organic principles, and to grow and harvest a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs. An abundant vegetable garden is created within the school grounds to provide edible, aromatic and beautiful resources for the school kitchen.

In the kitchen, students prepare a range of delicious dishes from the seasonal produce they’ve grown. The finished meal is arranged with pride and care on tables set with flowers from the garden. The shared meal is a time for students, specialists, teachers and volunteers to enjoy the fruits of their labour, and each other’s company and conversation.
