Port Townsend School District Farm to School

 

We serve all students in Port Townsend school district, approximately 1,110 students. Our values include place-based learning with hands in the dirt and cooking with whole foods. We support our learners in exploring nutrition education, plant-based science and real food as a tool for teamwork, health and holistic wellness. Ultimately, we teach respect for the gardens and for each other by guiding our students to become stewards of the Earth and their community. 

Granja educativa y Laboratorio del alimento, Villa de Leyva

As chef and cooking teacher for 10 years I have had the opportunity to understand how, by developing a relationship with food, students can acquire skills necessary for life.

Studying food, not as a commodity but as a system that allows us to understand life, develop environmental awareness, understand the human body and act as a means of knowledge ( a way to foster and develop culture and life skills)

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.

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.
