Solvang School Elementary Viking Cafe!

We are a brand new lunch program that is reforming the old school re-heated foods into farm fresh organic fruits and vegetables.  Through donations from the Orfalea Foundation of Santa Barbara, Ca we have built a full service kitchen that is feeding 350-400 student each day.  We have a farm gleaning program through Santa Ynez Valley Fruit & Vegetable Rescue.  The organic local farms are gleaned daily, and truck loads of the fresh organic produce is brought to our kitchen and made in to delicious soups, salads, sauces and dressings for the students at Solvang's "Viking Cafe". 

Wakulla's Charter School of the Arts, Science and Technology

Currently our garden is small, with a variety of edibles and flowers. I would like to expand our program to feed our school and eventually, have an organic farmer's market run by the students. We have a wonderful master gardener volunteer, and community support.

Horace Mann's School Within a Park

Hello,

I am a first grade teacher in Indiana, Pennsylvania.  Our elementary school, Horace Mann, is having a playground design charette workshop for students, parents, teachers, community members, and professionals to re-think and re-design our asphalt playground- this will take place in less than a month.  I have seen your edible schoolyard on many websites, blogs, and videos.  I love your spirit and the whole premis of what you do for your students.  I hope we can incorporate many of your ideas into our new playground. 

Thanks,

Jason Stubbe

Tree Media Foundation's / Urban Roots call to action is to put farms in schools. Across the nation, schools cover large areas of land that are often covered in asphalt.

Chase Avenue Elementary School Garden Club
