High School

Farm to Table's Farm to School program aims to connect children with agriculture, nature, healthy and local foods and their environment throughout New Mexico --making that critical link between children, youth, their families, agriculture, and the development of healthier eating habits.

City Green's School Gardens and City Sprouts Programs support the creation and maintenance of over 45 educational gardens in schools and community organizations throughout Northern New Jersey where children develop a deeper understanding of the natural environment; gain understanding of food systems and the importance of eating healthy foods; and have access to outdoor recreational activities in their own community while gaining an understanding of where their food comes from, the benefits of locally grown and organic food, the importance of healthy food choices and the impact of food choic

We call ourselves The Edible Era Scholars We are an afterschool program that meets twice a week for our Chef and Garden club. Each week we are cooking or tending to our 10 raised beds at New Era Academy in Cherry Hill, Maryland. We only create vegetarian foods and use fresh herbs and vegetables from our garden. We also make Herbal soaps using the herbs we grow in our garden. We have extended our club to residences of the community of all ages

In our program, we adapted a program similar to Harvest of the Month. In the beginning, we chose a fruit or vegetable to feature for the month and talked with the kids about why they should eat, how it is grown, and then they got to sample it. As a Parent Wellness Committee, we were involved in writing local grants and also a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, through Whole Foods. We were so fortunate to attain both of those grants to start our school garden!
