Williams School and Community Garden Project

 We are a small permaculture based school and community garden in Austin, TX dedicated to providing easily accessible fresh, organic food to our children in school and the community. In addition we strive to promote ecological and bioregional education and awareness as well as bring together our community and establish a cohesive and vibrant local food economy and good will.

Wesminster CCS - Watch Our Garden Grow!

I am the Executive Chef of the Westminster Community Charter School in Buffalo, New York.  It is a very low-income area and we have an 88% Free & Reduced lunch rate.  We have three chefs on staff, as well as 5 part-time employees.  We prepare fresh, from-scratch meals for about 500 children every day.  I took over the kitchen in 2010 and changed the lunchroom from a processed foods only kitchen to one that only prepares homemade and fresh foods.  We make our peanut butter and strawberry preserves, pizzas, granola, as well as every dish on the school lunch menu.

The Giving Garden

The Garden Road School community garden space, known as ‘The Giving Garden’ is a project that will incorporate outdoor learning, community development and food education. Not only will food be grown for a CSA, (Community Supported Agriculture) but local community members will also have the opportunity to rent a raised bed for the growing season and be part of a community garden.
