D11 Good Food Project

The D11 Good Food Project brings healthy, fresh, sustainable food to 24,000 students daily across 65 serving locations through the Colorado Springs School District 11 Food & Nutrition Services department.  Last year, $750,000 was put back into the local community through purchases of grass-finished beef, milk, fresh produce, and yes, coffee for our catering department.

The Galileo Garden Project produced 1,000 lbs. of fresh produce for the D11 Good Food Project in the five beds outdoors plus garden beds in our 42' geodesic dome greenhouse between January and September 2012.

A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
