Farm Based

st. francis school

I am the garden coordinator at a small independant school, St. Francis, in Goshen, KY.  It sits on 64 acres.  When I started, the school had 2 failed attemps with school gardens and an empty green house.  I have been there a year, part time, and have 6 raised beds with year round growing capabilities, a 350 sq. ft. in ground garden, 5 indoor vermacompost  and one in ground vermacompost.  We incubated eggs and have those chickens and 2 angora rabbits!  The kids have built me a chicken tractor and helped build the in ground vermacompost.  I teach part of their healthy choices class.
