Sing into a Carrot (yes, really)
1) Grab a carrot. Sing or lipsync like it’s a mic.
2) Post on TikTok or Instagram with #CarrotokeChallenge.
3) Tag 3 friends to keep it rolling. Not a singer? Donate instead — carrots don't judge. 🥕
Every silly clip voices support for food security + every dollar helps the nonprofit SeedMoney grow school, community and food bank gardens across the US and beyond.
Step 1: Grab & Sing
Any carrot works — baby, organic, lopsided, whatever's in your fridge. Hold it like a mic and film yourself singing or lipsyncing whatever you like: one line, a full song, solo or with friends. Carrots aren't picky about your pitch.
Step 2: Share, Dare & Give
Post your carrotoke on Instagram or TikTok with #CarrotokeChallenge. Dare 3 friends to keep it rolling. Not a singer? → Donate instead. For maximum impact, sing AND donate!

Examples
There’s no wrong way to carrotoke. Some people sing solo in their garden, others belt it out with friends in the kitchen, and a few rally the whole neighborhood. Watch these clips for inspiration — then grab your own carrot and join the fun!

FAQs
Q. How do I get involved in this project?
A. Post a short video of yourself singing or lipsyncing into a carrot using the #CarrotokeChallenge hashtag, donate, and challenge 3 friends to do the same.---Q. Wait, so I'm actually “saying” something by doing this?
A. Exactly. Every carrotoke video is a small act of advocacy — you're using your voice (and your platform) to show you care about food security and to inspire others to join in. Plus, you're helping fund real gardens that feed real people. So yes, singing into a carrot actually means something.---Q. How much time do I have to post my Carrotoke (or donate) once I’m challenged?
A. Officially, you’ve got 72 hours — we don’t expect everyone to keep a carrot in their back pocket. That said, if you’re already holding one, don’t wait. Carrot tops wilt, and so does momentum.---Q. Does my carrot need to be plugged into my computer or video camera to record audio?
A. No, it’s a carrot.---Q. Can I sing into a radish, rutabaga, or some other root vegetable?
A. You can try, but people might think you’re odd.---Q. What type of carrot records the best quality sound?
A. We find that homegrown or locally grown carrots create the purest sound, but feel free to use what you have.---Q. I’m afraid to sing in front of others because I don’t have a great singing voice. Will singing into a carrot make it sound any better?
A. No, but it will momentarily distract listeners from your voice.---Q. Am I allowed to eat the carrot after?
A. Absolutely! Carrotoke is the only mic you can snack on. Taking a bite on camera is highly encouraged — think of it as your curtain call.---Q. I don’t know what to sing. Do you have any recommendations?
A. The Garden Song by the late, great David Mallett (karaoke version available here) is a modern-day folk classic, but any song in any language will do. Sing what you sing best!
