Grimmway Schools Edible Schoolyards

Our mission at Grimmway Academy Edible Schoolyard is to create and sustain an organic garden and learning kitchen that is integrated into the school’s curriculum and culture. We also want to encourage children to discover and develop a healthy relationship with the food they eat. Modeled after the pioneering work of Alice Waters' Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley and the Buena Vista Edible Schoolyard in Bakersfield, we have wholly integrated an organic garden and kitchen classroom into the culture and campus of Grimmway Academy, a charter school in the rural town of Arvin, CA.

Einstein Edible School Yard

Started in 2009, the Einstein Edible School Yard involves all 8th graders and some 7th graders directly in organic vegetable gardening throughout the school year. It is based on the ESY in Berkeley and the principles in Richard Louv's book, Last Child in the Woods. The gardens teach about water quality, care of the soil, basic life skills, self-confidence, health and nutrition, and leadership. Involvement in the gardens also increases school attachment for increased academic achievement. They are also used for field stuides in science classes.

Rhode Island School for the Deaf Community Garden

 Rhode Island School for the Deaf is a small program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. We are a pre-kindergarten through high school program. We are so fortunate to have a beautiful organic garden on our property. The students designed and fabricated all 17 4 x 4 square foot gardens. The teachers use the garden for academic purposes in literacy, vocabulary development, math and science. Some students use the garden to learn how to follow directions and make healthy meals from the garden produce.
