UF/IFAS Extension Family Nutrition Program - Farm to School and Community

Our Farm to School and Community (F2SC) program makes Florida-grown foods more accessible to SNAP-eligible people in Florida. The F2SC team approaches Farm to School holistically by partnering with a variety of stakeholders throughout the food system. We work with local partners — schools, farmers, businesses, farmers markets, food service professionals, non-profit organizations — and state and federal agencies to improve the health of Florida citizens, while benefiting farmers and the local economy.

Sagamore Hills STEM Garden

Sagamore Hills Elementary School's S.T.E.M. Garden program was developed to give our students the opportunity to put the knowledge gained in the classroom to work in a real world environment. Having them leave the confines of the traditional classroom and get out into nature has proven to be the optimal environment for the best hands-on, experiential learning to happen. Every component of our program not only correlates and compliments the state required curriculum but expands upon it, allowing our students' natural curiosities, imagination, and ingenuity to take flight.

The Schoolyard as World

Our Sustainability Committee created the metaphor that gives our program its name: The Schoolyard as World.  This world is the laboratory where our students can experience citizenship and learn of a life wide with access to nature and its amenities as well as those of chickens and food fresh from their gardens.  In our program, students will also enlarge our connection to people and resources in our community through outreach and service learning.

Union Elementary School Garden

The Union Elementary School Garden, located at a small rural school in Eastern Oregon began in 2015 when Head Teacher, Savana Pool planted a small pumpkin patch for the students. The students loved working in the pumpkin patch so much that we have decided to construct and install a full-fledged garden Spring 2016. This learning/experimental garden will include a greenhouse, fruits and vegetables, herbs, flowers, a reading garden surrounded by a small orchard and, of course, pumpkins. We are organic and use only heirloom and open pollinated varieties.

Wagner Ranch School Garden

~~First I will explain a little bit about us.  We have recently been given an area of around a quarter acre of land by the local school district to develop for our school site as a learning outdoor garden classroom.  Previously this land was part of a greater nature area which the district and community uses for district environmental education programs and nature-related festivals.  The area is alive with native plants, like coffeeberry,  ceanothus, teasel, willow, heritage champagne grapes and oaks which have been central to the environmental education programs, but there are several area
