Hamilton Central School's Seed To Table Program

Our raised garden bed "seed to table" program began in 2011.  We currently have five 12' x 4' raised garden beds in use.  We also have a small pumpkin patch, as well as several composting bins used for replacement soil within our raised beds.  

Our school also has a greenhouse, where many of the plants that are planted in our raised beds are started and cared for by students, until the weather is optimum to plant outside.  

The Farm at Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School

 The Farm at Effie Kokrine Early College Charter School is a special project of Effie Kokrine FFA. Students participate in a summer "Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture" class and grow a one-acre vegetable garden, selling the vegetables at farmer's market. During the school year, FFA students take classes like Fiber Arts and raise angora rabbits for fiber. In the future, we hope to expand to raise livestock such as chickens and goats and have a full-time vocational agriculture program.

Tierra Pacifica Charter School

Tierra Pacifica Charter School, formed in 1998, is a collaborative effort among parents, teachers and community members committed to the development of the whole child. Through the establishment of a charter school, we believe we can work within the school system to create an innovative alternative model to traditional public elementary schools.

Tierra Pacifica educates children from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is designed for families who want to take an active role in the education of their children, both in and out of the classroom.

We are located in Vallejo Ca. and have been gardening since 2012. We are fledgling group but are growing day by day.

We are growing winter vegetables at this time but maintain a summer program as well.

Our charter school is comprised of middle school through high school.

Our main garden is located on the middle school campus but are in the middle of installing a high school garden on the high school side.

Our hope is that we can link up with other programs thoughout our town, state and eventually the nation.
