 Green Mountain Farm-to-School is a nonprofit organization in Newport, VT whose mission is to restore and strengthen local food systems in Vermont by promoting positive economic and educational relationships between schools, farms, and communities. We do this by building school gardens, delivering local food to schools, and educating children about healthy food choices.

Gateway Greening educates and empowers people to improve their communities through gardening and urban agriculture.  Our programs include Community Gardens, Youth Gardens, City Seeds Urban Farm,  Urban Roots, and Farmworks.

Our Youth Programs works to involve at-risk youth in sustainable food production and garden-based education to meet the diverse needs of schools, daycares, and other youth-focused organizations, in partnership with neighboring communities. There are over 70 youth gardens in the St. Louis area supported by Gateway Greening. 

It is my intent to start an Edible School Yard.

CDCH is committed to integrating a school-wide Sustainability Curriculum and is partnering with surrounding schools and organizations to help ensure our children inherit a healthy East End and a healthy planet. Our Garden is just the 1st step! Five raised vegetable beds, an herb garden, a blueberry row were planted as part of the garden's inaugural planting day on April 4, 2012.
