Middle School

Quincy Plumas Charter School

We are in our first year of starting the garden program and have been doing everything with our students, from laying the irrigation to building the raised beds, hoop house and tool shed! We have even milled some of our wood for the tool shed and sitting areas.We have an incredible quarter acre with excellent sun exposure and access to water. We are experimenting with various organic and permaculture techniques, including vermiculture, hugelkultur, mulching, plant tea fertilizer, etc.

Through our four main program areas, CPF invests in high-quality, solution-based programs that inspire and teach youth to become collaborators and agents of change.

TPS School Garden

In August 2016, Trinity Prep began its school garden program by parterning with Fleet Farming of Orlando (http://fleetfarming.com/).  This garden is used extensively in the 6th grade curriculum and is available to all interested students, parents, faculty and staff at the school. The garden will also provide produce to the TPS Grille for special dishes.  We are brand new at this and are looking forward to seeing how a garden can transform our campus.

Longview Farms

Longview Farms is a family farm located in Havana, Florida and nested in restored longleaf pine forest. The mission of the farm is to raise healthy grass-fed and finished Devon cattle, pastured chickens and pigs, and healthy vegetables free of pesticides and chemical fertilizer. The farm is also committed to providing students of all ages opportunities to immerse themselves in nature, and get hands-on experience with sustainable farming.

River School Garden and Culinary Enrichment

Students in grades 6-8 work in the school garden through their science classes and a Garden/Culinary Enrichment class. They learn academic skills and concepts through the acts of growing food and cooking it. Projects include learning about atomic structure and the Periodic Table through studying how to enrich the garden soil, learning to make bread while studying cell biology and much more. Program funding comes through grants, local business partnerships, student council funding and parent volunteering.

Mission

Farm Lot 59

We love our Little Learners and welcome you to come to the farm for a customized hands on field trip. All ages and grade levels are welcome. We ask for a $5 donation per person attending. Its best for us to keep groups between 15-30 total people per group. If you have more than that we can split the lesson in 2 parts, add a nature walk or tour of EDCO recycling across the street. After you tell us a little about your group and what you are interested in learning we will confirm your trip date and tailor the lesson for your group.

Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind

Opportunities Unlimited for the Blind teaches young people with little to no use of their eyes to use their other senses to plant, care for, and harvest garden vegetables and small fruits, some of which grow wild on our camp property, and then take them to the kitchen to create great meals.  Most teachers of children who are blind or have low vision do not have the time or resources to teach daily living skills like cooking to their students, and many parents are afraid to give their blind child a knife or something hot, and have no idea how to teach a blind person how to tell the differenc
