REAL School Gardens

REAL School Gardens Creates Learning Gardens That Grow Successful Students. For a teacher, a garden is more than a beautiful place or a veggie patch. It is a powerful learning tool, as critical to a student’s academic success as a computer or a microscope.

Odyssey Orchards

Odyssey Orchards is 1 acre edible learning garden and fruit orchard, where students learn how to care for the earth, grow healthy food, develop hands-on skills, and integrate their learning in a whole-systems context. Odyssey Orchards also functions as an urban-agriculture demonstration site, where members of the larger community can participate in weekend workshops that teach skills and methods in Permaculture design and sustainable living.

How Does it Grow?

How Does it Grow? is the first online hub for teaching agricultural literacy to ages 12 through adulthood through the power of storytelling.

By creating broadcast-quality videos and other free, multi-platform tools, our goal is to reconnect people with how their food grows in order to inspire greater connection with — and demand for — whole, natural foods.

Within the release of just the first few episodes of the "How Does it Grow?" web series, our videos quickly clocked over 100,000 plays.

Minnesota Food Association

The mission of Minnesota Food Association (MFA) is to build a sustainable food system based on social, economic and environmental justice through education, training and partnerships.

• All people who desire to farm have the tools, knowledge, skills and access to resources necessary to be successful farmers.
• Organic and sustainable agricultural principles and practices are embraced and supported by both producers and consumers.
• All people eat organic, sustainably and locally produced food.
