Willow Creek Academy Culinary Farm Program

Established in 2014 by a group of committed students, teachers, parents, and community leaders, the Willow Creek Academy Culinary Farm’s mission is to create an engaging, systematic and sustainable outdoor education program in the fields of cooking, gardening and nutrition that deepens the understanding of core knowledge and nurtures a lifelong connection between mind, body, spirit and the environment.

Dale Junior High School

Our school garden was a vision of several teachers, along with the blessings of our administrative team, to create a "live" outdoor classroom that would promote hands-on learning while tackling the guidelines of Common Core Curriculum in numerous courses of study. We believe that if you provide the students will valuable, practical and relevant material, our students will soar to heights that we can not even imagine.

Bridgehampton Edible School Garden

The Bridgehampton Edible School Garden is comprised of a 1,000 square foot greenhouse and a 4,000 square foot garden.

Silver State Charter Gardens

Silver State Charter Gardens is a garden program that has just begun to 'bud' at the Silver State Charter School. We are based out of Carson City, but serve a population of middle and high school students that live across rural Northern Nevada.  In partnership with the Whole Kids Foundation, our program was piloted this year (2015) at the Middle School.  We use project-based learning to guide our kids as they create their soil, choose their seeds, design their greenhouses, grow their crops, and enjoy their harvest.  

Belmont Day School Garden

The school garden serves three goals for our school community. First, it is a good source for our lunch program. The kitchen staff serves healthy foods, often locally sourced and from our own garden. Another goal is to use the garden as an outdoor classroom, a way to connect to curriculum across many age groups and disciplines, a place to guide students in community service, environmental stewardship, and food justice issues. A third goal is to grow vegetables to use for our school outreach efforts.
