Kitchen Classrooms

Lambert Public School

The goal of our program is to seek student involvement while building toward a much larger goal being a student operated farm where not only produce but livestock would be raised. The immediate goal of this initial project is to use the context of a garden to instill a sense of ownership, responsibility, work ethic and community into all students involved. The planting and harvesting of crops and produce is an added benefit to this program.

Horseshoe Trails Elementary

The goal for the Horseshoe Trails garden is for all students to have an opportunity to experience gardening. For many of our students, this will be their first gardening experience and we hope to ignite a passion for future gardeners. We'd also like to encourage teachers to utilize the garden as a tool for scientific and multi-disciplinary learning. John Muir said, "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he find it attached to the rest of the world." We believe the garden can be used to teach virtually any subject in a hands-on, meaningful way.

Gulf Islands Secondary School

Main Goals: To provide farm to table education and experience to our culinary arts students at Gulf Islands Secondary School. To provide fresh, locally grown food for our school cafeteria. Other Goals: To provide a gardening education centre to be used by other departments within the school and Salt Spring Elementary School and Salt Spring Island Middle School (both within 500m of GISS) and to the community at large. To provide a summer garden education centre for the community and summer employment for an adult supervisor and a small number of high school students.

Stetson School

We have established three primary goals: - Teach students about sustainable practices and the importance of sustainability and our food system. - Provide staff the opportunity to purchase fresh, organic produce, and to provide our cafeteria and classrooms with the same for free as supplies allow. - To show students that great things can be accomplished through hard work.

Food Literacy Center

Founded in 2011 as a 501c3 nonprofit, our mission is to inspire kids to eat their vegetables. We teach low-income elementary children cooking and nutrition to improve our health, environment and economy. We have developed a 14-week curriculum. We use positive discipline in our instruction, and we keep our lessons fun, approachable, and hands-on. We use Broccoli Boundaries & Radish Routines to help students build lifelong habits and to become Food Adventurers. We started our nonprofit serving one school, and are now serving 800 elementary students in 8 schools weekly.

The Best of Thymes Garden: Panther Farm

Panther Farm is an idea I had in the fall of 2013. I have taught The Ominvore's Dilemma for the past three years and realized that I could do something to help reinforce the ideas Michael Pollan so elequently conveys in that book. I began to poll studens to gauge their interest, and now it looks like we begin to create to what I hope becomes a school-wide food forrest. I plan to help students design and implement the process, but this will be their farm.

W.J. Bryan Elementary Museums Magnet School

W.J. Bryan Elementary Museums Magnet School was founded in 1928 and has been designated as a Miami-Dade County historic landmark. As a museums magnet school, we utilize object-based and project-based methodologies in our daily instructional practices. Students use real-life artifacts, artwork, and models in order to bring abstract ideas to concrete understanding. What better way to incorporate real-world problem solving than through the use of our garden??

Sustainable Farm School

The Sustainable Farm School is an independent day school for children ages 3 to 18 that offers core academics, holistic personal development, and a model for sustainable living.

The Agrinauts Training Program

The Agrinauts Training Program takes on the challenges of the once established horticulture classroom at the Ghazvini Learning Center in Tallahassee, Fl, to pioneer students to develop their lifestyle and ocllective culture consciously through our relationship with food, academics, home, and community.

Rodgers Ranch Urban Farm & Teaching Gardens

Rodgers Ranch is a small farm tucked in the middle of Pleasant Hill, CA.

It's a place to for anyone to come and learn about how to grow edible plants, raise bees, and all things related to gardening and farming.

Rodgers Ranch was begun as a farm back in the 1800's, and we are now continuing it's legacy by using it as a place to work on a real farm.

The farm is in a quiet, safe and relaxing location, with wonderful air and good views of Mt. Diablo.
