Fish to Schools

Fish to Schools works toward a sustainable community that offers all school children the health benefits of locally-caught seafood, equips them to understand how this food source is obtained, and empowers them to one day enjoy the full cultural and economic advantages of local seafood resources. Local seafood is served in grades K-12 and is paired with a "stream to plate" curriculum that brings salmon alive in the classroom. Lessons empower students to make food choices that benefit not just their bodies but also their local communities, economies, and environment.

 

Garden Rules to Health

   Childhood obesity rates are out of control and its time for change? To combat childhood obesity, studies show that children who grow fruits or veggies, are more interested in eating them.  Eating more whole food and less processed foods combined with exercise is the path to better health and overall wellness.  A school garden supports that path to positive change in your community.  

Farm Field Studies

THE MARIN ORGANIC FARM FIELD STUDIES PROGRAM brings children and young adults from around the Bay Area to local farms. Students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning where they make connections between the environment, agriculture, and the food they eat. Our goal is to empower young people to make food choices that will positively impact their long-term health. Knowledge of where food comes from is a powerful tool for teaching good nutrition.

Fresno Sustainable Schools Permaculture Program

We are building a school garden based on Permaculture principles, a permaculture summer camp, and trying to create a farm to school network.

Barnes County North

Our goal is to integrate our garden into all facets of the school curriculum, and across all grades PK-12. We plan for each classroom and discipline to be actively involved in this project.

Bolsa Grande High School

Our garden's goal is to teach our organization's members the true value of working hard and self-reliance. To accomplish this, we seek to plant our own vegetables and since vegetables take time to mature, the members will have to be diligent in taking care of the plants, teaching the members the idea of hard work. At the same time, the fully-grown vegetables are edible and provide our bodies with nutrition. Thus, growing vegetables displays self-reliance since the members will understand that they are able to grow their own produce rather than always relying on the stores.

Crazy Horse School

What we would like to create is a project that will help educate our youth about healthy eating habits, as well as instill and validate Lakota cultural values. One of the main goals for our garden is to provide an alternative food source for our community as a whole. Through distributing fresh fruit and vegetables to families in our community, we hope to increase the opportunities for healthy, well-balanced meals for young and old people alike.

Kevin G. Langan School

It is the goal of the Langan School Garden that it enables the students of the School to learn gardening techniques and to grow fruits and vegetables both for display and for consumption at the School, the Center for Disability Services and for the students

Carl Sandburg High School

Carl Sandburg High School's purpose of having a garden (Project Green) is to provide fresh produce to pantries in need. We specifically wanted to help our local Orland Pantry. The Orland Pantry is a non-profit organization that provides food for the less fortunate. Having a garden at our school will provide us with fresh fruits and vegetables that the pantry will always have access to.
