Edible Schoolyard Project Stockton Community Farm

In the fall of 2021, the Edible Schoolyard Project secured the lease to a six-acre community farm located in South Stockton. This came after more than two years of building ties with residents in the area through an after-school cooking class at Taylor Leadership Academy and a program to distribute organic CSA boxes throughout the community.

The farm will soon host groups of students for classes that teach gardening and culinary skills, and will continue to be a place where community members can grow food on plots of land.

Forget Me Not Farm Children's Services

Since its inception in 1992, Forget Me Not Farm has helped thousands of at-risk children and youth break the cycle of abuse. Located on the grounds of the Sonoma County Humane Society, the Farm offers animal-assisted and horticultural therapeutic activities that provide a haven for children, animals, and plants to interact, bond, learn and heal. As part of our programming, children and youth from the foster care system come to the farm each week and help plant, tend, and harvest food that they can bring home with them at the end of the day.

The vision for a New Horizon School Peace Garden at its middle school campus grew out of a desire to develop a space that will enrich our students’ learning with the establishment of an environmental education program and serve as a place to sow seeds of peace and understanding through community building. The school’s diverse student body hails from all around the world including Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

Our core goals for the Peace Garden’s 6,480 foot space are:

Suisun Valley Garden

Suisun Valley is a rural K-8 school of approximately 520 students located in a prime agricultural area of Suisun Valley. Approximately 60% of our students come from outside our attendance area, attending our school as a school-of-choice option or NCLB choice from underperforming schools. The school has developed a reputation for being a small nurturing school and instructionally demanding environment.

Valley Academy Charter School

We are Desert Hive Food Forests, a Non-profit organization operating in the far Southwestern corner of Utah! We are currently working on a school garden overhaul with Valley Academy Charter School a Kindergarten through 7th grade school serving about 350 students in a rural desert community. We believe strongly that schools provide the perfect platform for community centered agriculture and believe that outdoor garden classrooms that serve the children, the cafeteria, and the community, are a necessary addition to our current curriculum standards.
