Academic Classrooms

Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm

Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm (SWSF) is a not-for-profit, preschool through 12th grade school in Sonoma County, California. We are one of the only schools in the U.S. with a working Biodynamic farm that is integrated into the curriculum (preK-12). At the farm, students have the opportunity to learn many basic skills that are rapidly becoming lost in today's industrialized society.

Environmental Charter School

The ECS Edible Schoolyard's (ESY) mission is to build connections with students, families, and the larger community through garden and kitchen experiences that foster compassionate citizens who feel empowered to make healthy food choices for themselves and increase access to healthy food for others. ECS values the whole child and honors students’ mind, body, and spirit through its holistic approach to education.

We envision the ECS ESY to:

Carbondale Community School

Caldwell Elementary Garden's from the Heart

North Shore Community School

North Shore Community School excels in connecting our students’ academics and learning with their natural and social environments in a nurturing community setting. We use the environment as an integrating context for learning in all subject areas. With forty acres, a school forest, a new greenhouse and a nature trail, ample opportunity exists to explore and create hands on learning experiences in the natural environment. Teachers use guided inquiry to capitalize on students interests and engage learners in meaningful encounters.

Program Description

Salmon School Garden Project

The mission of the Salmon School Garden Project (SSGP) is to develop a school-based garden and corresponding Farm-to-School program, fully integrated into the Salmon School District’s long term learning environment.

What does that look like, exactly?  More than just planting a few vegetables, this project is designed to grow into a dynamic program, connecting students to their food, their community and to local agriculture.

Food Nerd Jr.

We believe that everyone can be “food wise” regardless of age, background, education, or economic status. Our concept of comprehensive food education developed because we felt that standard paths focused specifically on nutrition and cooking.

 
Our multidisciplinary, project-based learning approach to food education allows for various perspectives of storytelling about the foods we love and hate.

University of San Francisco Urban Agriculture

In 2007, USF professors Melinda Stone and Seth Wachtel and eleven students enrolled in the year-long Garden Project living learning community transformed an overgrown lot into a campus organic garden. Over the next four years, Garden Project students and faculty installed irrigation and water catchment systems, planted an orchard, painted garden murals, and designed and built an outdoor kitchen, greenhouse, toolshed, and a solar power system. In 2011, responding to overwhelming amount of student interest, the professors transitioned the Garden Project into a minor in Urban Agriculture.
