Torquay College Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden

Our school has joined the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, and we are in the process of setting up our Gardens and Kitchen with resources and support from the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation. Financial support is from the school, and assisted by donations from the community.

Cesar Chavez Middle School Garden Project

Established in 2009, our garden is a living laboratory that’s utilized to reinforce Common Core Standards, including science, math, history, and language arts while also providing an engaging environment to participate in the cycle of growing food.  The garden consists of a diverse array of fruits and vegetables. We focus on varieties of fruits and vegetables that are not only nutritious but historically and culturally significant, from heirloom beans, maize, quinoa, amaranth, and winter squash in the summer, to fava beans, wheat, kale, broccoli, and potatoes in the cooler months.

The "Heart and Soil Garden" at St. Robert School.

We are builidng a garden on asphalt to be integrated with not only core curriculum but the school kitchen as well.  Progress is slow due to funding  but the school parents and local residents are becoming involved and excited about edible gardening on their own.

What we care about

Farm Table - All Local and Seasonal Cooking on the Farm

Lakeside School at Black Kettle Farm

Since our move to Black Kettle in 2007, we have implemented a farm-based program, whose roots grow deeper each year. Our unique setting allows us the opportunity to experience an education based on the Waldorf philosophy in a deep and rich way. From animal husbandry to planting, tending, and harvesting their produce, children experience the seasonal food cycles of agriculture first-hand. Each fall, after the fall harvest is over, the children put the beds to sleep for the winter.

Carver's Produce Edible Schoolyard

The life of George Washington Carver will always be remembered through his contributions to humanity, agriculture, and our environment. He left behind a selfless legacy to guide future generations into greater heights. Father Carver, as we affectingly call him, had a passion for teaching his students and taking them “into the field” for research at Tuskegee Institute (Tuskegee University). 

Calpella School Garden

Calpella School Garden was established in 1999 and the beloved Grandpa Julio was the garden educator until this year when he retired and our funding for a position was eliminated.  The school garden serves over 480 students in K-4th grades.  We grow seasonal food for students to taste test.
