Cooking with Kids, Inc.

Cooking with Kids motivates and empowers elementary school students to make healthy food choices. Through hands-on nutrition education activities, kindergarten through 6th grade students explore, prepare, and enjoy fresh, affordable foods from around the world. A 5th grader says it best: “Do you know what the passion of food is? It’s the way the food smells and tastes – it’s the food that I like!”

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.  

South Athens Elementary Garden Project

This is our second season for our school garden.  We were created to teach healthy food choices for our largely Hispanic population.  The first year was a huge success....many volunteers, the Master Gardeners got involved, and we provided food for our 600 plus kids to sample.  Our success did not go unnoticed - two other schools in our town have now started their own school gardens!

This year we are expanding into a greenhouse program, starting a compost project using discarded food from our cafeteria, and growing even more plants! We are excited about another great year!

Field to Table Schools (FoodShare Toronto)

FoodShare Toronto’s Field to Table Schools (FTTS) program is restoring good food education in schools with hands-on activities, workshops and growing projects. Students from JK to Grade 12 learn about composting, innovative food gardens, nutrition, cooking, local and global food systems and more. The FTTS program reconnects students with food and where it comes from; teaching that good healthy food not only tastes good, but is fun too!

Palos Verdes School Gardens

Palos Verdes School Gardens is a non-profit organization that seeks to make our schools models of sustainability on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

We want our kids to learn about conservation, smart energy use, how to grow food organically and responsibly and to care for their environment on the school campus. We want our kids to grow up knowing that their actions and decisions have an impact on the world around them.

St. Benedict the Moor School is in a brand new building and has a space available for a small student-managed garden.  This garden will supply produce for the new salad bar, purchased with funds from the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, a program directed toward improving diet to promote increased physical activity.

IAA School Garden

 We are just beginning our school garden here at Interamerican Academy in Guayaquil! So far, we have Pre-K, 2nd grade, and 7th grade involved in the planting of seeds. Our school cafeteria saves their fruit and veggie scraps and we have three compost bins going to create soil.
