Take the #CarrotokeChallenge
Sing into a carrot!
Grab a carrot, film yourself singing your heart out, and share it on Instagram or TikTok. Tag friends, challenge them to join, and help plant healthy food gardens where they’re needed most.
Step 1: Grab & Sing
Any carrot works — baby, jumbo, organic, straight from the garden or market. Hold it like a mic and film yourself singing whatever you like: one line, a full song, solo or with friends. Carrots don’t judge your pitch.
Step 2: Share, Dare & Give
Post your carrotoke on Instagram or TikTok with #CarrotokeChallenge. Dare a friend by tagging them or calling them out in your video. Can’t carry a tune? No worries — you can still keep the challenge growing by donating to plant food gardens where they’re needed most.
Examples
There’s no wrong way to sing carrotoke. Some people sing solo in their garden, others belt it out with friends, 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 photo or video of yourself singing into a carrot using the #CarrotokeChallenge hashtag, make a donation, and challenge someone else to do the same.---Q. Why would I want to do that?
A. Because you’re a person of action and adventure. Plus, it raises awareness of—and funds for—SeedMoney, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit helping school and community gardens take root across the U.S. and around the world.---Q. How much time do I have to post my Carrotoke 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. 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!
