Garden Classrooms

The World of Real Food: Combining organic gardening, traditional milk goats, and ancient wild foods, the "Eat Real!" program will give campers a dynamic hands-on and in-mouth understanding of where food comes from. With working examples of the three historical food systems - foraging, gardening, and animal husbandry, campers will explore the bustling world of food!

Schoolyard to Market is a youth development and entrepreneurship program launched in January 2011 by the Center for Urban Education About Stustainable Agriculture (CUESA) in partnership with the San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance (SFGSA) at three San Francisco Unified School District high schools (John O’Connell High School in the Mission District, Life Learning Academy on Treasure Island, and June Jordan School of Equity in the Excelsior, where we are working with Urban Sprouts to implement the program).

New City Public School Urban Farm was established in June 2010, in Long Beach Ca. The abandoned lot, formerly a 1920's ostrich farm and then a series of parking lots, was cleared, leveled, and shoveled into it's current bed & orchard design by school and community members. The Port of Long Beach donated three large container bins (we painted them a bright "barn" orange!) to serve as a tool shed, a future office and farm stand. A nominal lease from the City of Long Beach sealed the deal and New City Urban Farm was born.
