City Growers

City Growers administers educational tours and workshops at Brooklyn Grange rooftop farms.  Using the working farms as learning laboratories, students K-12 experience urban agriculture first hand, enabling them to better grasp where their food comes from, and empowering them to make healthy choices for themselves and the environment.

Food For Thought

Food for Thought provides students with a federally reimbursed breakfast “in the classroom.” In each participating school, breakfasts are delivered directly to the classroom, where students and teachers spend the first 10 minutes of the school day eating breakfast together. During these 10 minutes of communal time, teachers can take attendance, lead students through a focused activity on health and wellness, and build a familial learning community.
