Starr Elementary Garden

 We do a combination of indoor gardening and cooking activities in two half-hour meetings per week. Our garden is about 10 feet by 25 feet long, enclosed by a fence. Earlier we grew tomatoes and sunflowers, but we have had to switch to flowers and herbs (bee and butterfly friendly). We have just received a donation of some wood that's already in raised bed construction (used for air conditioning parts) and since it is not chemically treated, we can turn them into raised beds in spring. We will locate these in a different area, but will not have an easy time watering.

Cambridge Elementary School Garden

Our school garden has about a dozen raised beds of vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers. We have compost containers, an on-site "garden shed" made from an old shipping container.

Raising awareness in communities about clean food is important, not just for our health, but also for the agricultural integrity our soil deserves.

Federal Hocking Middle School Garden

 Our school garden program started as a tool for math and science instruction combined.  Currently it is made from 4 beds that are 10X60 feet each.  Much of the food that we produce is used in the school cafeteria.  The next phase of the garden is to cover the beds with greenhouses to be able to use them over the winter.

Common Threads Farm and School Garden Collective

 At Common Threads Farm, we are on a mission to connect children and youth with healthy food through seed-to-table educational experiences. We currently reach over 3000 youth annually through our school-based gardening and cooking programs, our partnerships with nonprofits serving low-income youth, and our open-enrollment Farm Camp and Camp Pizza programs. In each of these programs, children are engaged in planting, tending, harvesting, cooking, eating, and - in some instances - selling produce at EBT (food stamp) accessible farm stands.

MSU Extension Chippewa County

 MSU Extension in Chippewa County partners with the Upper Peninsula Food Exchange, the Eastern Upper Peninsula (EUP) Food Hub, and EUP Intermediate School District on local food initiatives in the region that support school gardens, hoop houses and farm to school efforts. A FoodCorps service member complements the work of MSU Extension and allows increased engagement with schools in the region, especially in garden-based education with students.
