i have a character, Johnny G Appletree, who is a nine foot tall walking talking Appletreeman. He has performed at schools in Okinawa, Inner Mongolia and Oakland CA.

I want to create a school program for him to promote edible school yards.

My goal by attending the Edible School Yard academy is to form the basis for my program.

Foodways at Nana Cardoon

Our programs draw from our own cultural histories while honoring connections with peasant farmers around the world.  We think of meals, produced from our farm by our students, as the binding elements of culture and our connection, throughg hands in the dirt, to agrarian cultures the world over, and to ourselves.  Our goal with students of all ages is the silence that settles in when a table full of eaters realizes they are tasting something from the garden, incrediblly delicious, fresh and nutritious, and that they had a hand in producing.

El Colegio de Panama School Gardening and Cooking Program

The El Colegio de Panamá health program is an initiative that includes the creation of a food garden as a classroom, cooking classes and the supervision of the school cafeteria. The school serves 1050 students all of which will be impacted by our health program.

The program development started on 2016 but it is now, at the beginning of Panama’s academic year (March 2017), that we will put all the ideas into action.

Columbia Falls Wildcat Garden

Columbia Falls is a small rural community located in the northern part of the Flathead Valley in Northwestern Montana, near the entrance to Glacier National Park. Our district consists of two elementary schools, one junior high school, and one high school serving approximately 1200 students.  Approximately 50% of our students qualify for Free and Reduced lunch.  I believe the percentage is actually much higher as our community workforce tends to be seasonal. 

Sugar Beet Schoolhouse

In 2012 our community began building a grocery co-op that celebrates local producers and growers called Sugar Beet Food Co-op. In the process, we organized a 501c3 called Sugar Beet Schoolhouse that would continue to serve our diverse community with food literacy programming once the co-op opened.

In January 2017 Sugar Beet Schoolhouse grew to include a shared use commercial kitchen to serve as an incubator for budding food business, a small greenhouse for growing and education and a teaching kitchen for our cooking classes for all ages.
