Chicago Public Schools, District 299 Farm to School Program

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Nutrition Support Services and the Office of Student Health and Wellness supports a Farm to School approach for nutrition education and school gardens. A Farm to School approach can awaken students' natural curiosity and provide experiential learning opportunities across the curriculum while emphasizing nutrition lessons and educating students on the food system.

Chico Unified School District Farm to School Program

The following description is a summary of our farm to school plan funded by a 2013 USDA Farm to School Program grant: Funds will help expand existing Farm to School resources and activities from a series of successful but disparate activities into a comprehensive, integrated Farm‐to‐School program.

Longfellow Elementary School

I am building a school garden for the children in the lower grades at Longfellow Elementary along with the help from Girl Scouts, and teachers.  A committee of parents and teachers plan to use the garden area to teach children how food grows, nutrition and health using a program called Growing Great.

Gardeneers

Gardeneers cultivates customized school garden programs to ensure that each space and the students and communities who care for it connect with healthy food and grow to their full potential.

Founded in 2014, Gardeneers provides garden education programming with students in 25 schools in Chicago. We focus on schools in low income, food desert communities where there is a lack of access to fresh, healthy food. 

Green Teacher Network

Green Teacher Network serves as a central resource in the Charlotte region to advance academics, health and enviornmental sustainability through schoolyard gardens.

Blume Community Garden

In 1973 Mr. Richard Blume opened the doors of Blume Scrap Metal. For years, he dealt with battery acid, recycling and manufacturing. In 2015 the building will be knocked down to create an urban garden oasis for the community. The program teaches children valuable lessons as they learn to grow food in their own community. The garden will bring the community together and build sustainable programs for inner-city youth. The Blume Community Garden plans to start growing in summer 2015.
