Jones Valley Teaching Farm

Good School Food (GSF) is Jones Valley Teaching Farm’s primary program.  GSF is a food education model that connects Pre K-12 students to food through cross-curricular, standards-based content during the school day.  GSF is unique in its approach to food education in public schools in that we provide schools with state-of-the-art teaching farms and full-time staff, known as GSF Instructors, who work with school faculty to develop dynamic programs and curricula. The outcomes of the GSF model are improved student learning and access to healthy food at the school level.
