D11 Good Food Project

The D11 Good Food Project brings healthy, fresh, sustainable food to 24,000 students daily across 65 serving locations through the Colorado Springs School District 11 Food & Nutrition Services department.  Last year, $750,000 was put back into the local community through purchases of grass-finished beef, milk, fresh produce, and yes, coffee for our catering department.

The Galileo Garden Project produced 1,000 lbs. of fresh produce for the D11 Good Food Project in the five beds outdoors plus garden beds in our 42' geodesic dome greenhouse between January and September 2012.

Elbert County Middle School

Fall, winter, and spring garden, a few raised beds, apple trees, muscadines, and blueberry bushes.  Students research, plan, plant and harvest with produce going to families in need of fresh foods.

Voorhies Edible School Garden

My name is Nadia Guajardo and I am a 6th grade teacher with Bakersfield City School District. I am writing to you on behalf of Voorhies Elementary, in hopes of rallying support for our new community project of creating an edible garden at our school site. The edible garden will be designed to educate our students about the important practices of horticulture and sustainability through hands-on experience, integrated science-based curriculum, and a collective awareness of the importance of eco-responsibility.

Maine School Garden Network

The Maine School Garden Network is a volunteer organization whose mission is to promote and facilitate educational gardens for Maine youth, grades pre-K through high school.  We meet monthly in Brunswick, Maine.  We have a website with resources for educational gardeners and a Maine school garden directory.  We hold professional development conferences for educators and engage in other activities to help get school gardens started and to publicize their benefits.

Salt Marsh Soldiers

The Salt Marsh Soldiers are an environmental group who have raised beds filled with organic dirt and organic veggies.  Our produce is eaten by students and donated to Second Harvest. We work in partnership with many local experts such as Betty Ann Lewis with Sapelo Farms, James Holland our former Altamaha Riverkeeper, and Jeannie Lewis of Department of Natural Resources to name a few.

Youth Villages AmeriCorps Community Garden

The Youth Villages AmeriCorps community garden began in 2007, as an AmeriCorps service learning project designed to create a garden space for learning and meditation at the Youth Villages Inner Harbour Campus in Douglasville, GA. The first planting occurred in the spring of 2008, and every spring, summer and fall, AmeriCorps members, students, staff and teachers plant and harvest organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.

The Grenada Goat Dairy Project, Inc.

Established in 2008, we're expanding to build an interactive goat dairy at a primary school in Grenada, West Indies, the first of its kind. 

Human Health and the Organic Garden

As society advances, people have become increasingly detached from their food sources. The way modern humans live and eat is incredibly different than the way ancestral populations have dealt with food. This has led to an increased prevalence of human health diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This program strives to explore material from the Integrative Biology department at UC Berkeley to better understand the benefits plant based nutrition and medicine have on human health.

The Garden Project: Cafe

At bellcate School we believe that all students are valuable and possess the ability to contribute something meaningful to the world. We believe that in order to harvest these gifts it is essential to identify and address basic human and unique individual needs (physiological, safety and security, belonging, love, acceptance, esteem, approval and recognition). Our mission and core values support the bellcate School philosophy.
