School Cafeterias

CPCS School Garden

 We have a school garden with a greenhouse and several raised beds for growing produce. Our produce is used to supplement our cafeteria salad bar. We also have two chickens Sunshine and Comet who eat some of our lunch scraps and help us put eggs on our salad bar.

We are an alternate school in the Vancouver School Board, BC, Canada. We have a school garden based on permaculture principles which includes 5 garden beds, a composting system & 4 chickens. Our cafeteria program uses the food produced by our garden amongst the ingredients to cook lunches for our entire student population.

Billy Mitchell Elementary School

Billy Mitchell Elementary School is one of eight schools in the Lawndale Elementary School District, Los Angeles County, California. We are continuously evolving our curriculum and instructional program to meet the needs of our students. A reflection of that is in our garden and nutrition program. All of our students are the stewards of this garden under the guidance and supervision of our Master Gardener and parent and community volunteers. Experience has taught us that student ownership of a garden is a key to success.

Woodstock North High School Garden

The Woodstock North High School Garden is dedicated to creating a successful, sustainable outdoor classroom using organic methods, for the benefit of the students, staff, and community. Children learn to enjoy gardening in a positive manner, learn healthy eating habits, and learn how to use gardening to survive and prosper in the world, through decision-making, collaboration, and responsibility. The garden provides food for the school cafeteria, culinary arts, and an in-house food pantry for students of needy families.

Roots and Wings Montessori School

Roots and Wings provides education and childcare for children from age 4 months to adolescence.  Now in our 27th year, we take education out of the industrial age of conveyor belt education into the current century of mindfulness and individualized learning.  We focus on earth stewardship, respect for equality and dignity among all people, entrepreneurship from age five, student inspired creativity and relevant academics.  We follow each child, enabling them to find their gifts and use them in service, empowering them to make a difference in the world.

Rappahannock County Nutrition Services/Farm-to-Table Program

The FARM-to-TABLE PROGRAM (aka “F2T”) is a partnership between Headwaters, the Rappahannock County Public Schools, and other community organizations. Planted at Rappahannock County High School in 2004, the program branched out and now provides fertile soil for learning to students in many disciplines at both the high school and Rappahannock County Elementary School.

Healthy Lunch, Healthy Lives

Pacific High School (PHS) has a unique school lunch program, in which fresh, nutritious, homemade lunches are prepared and served by students. Our goal is to alleviate poverty in Southeast Alaska by developing and documenting this lunch program into a replicable model that includes farm-to-school and summer food service / student employment programs. High school students are powerful connectors between schools, families, and communities. By providing healthy, homemade food to students, they learn to enjoy it, and bring that enjoyment back to their families.

North Winneshiek Community School District

The North Winneshiek School garden supports the school district in creating a comprehensive learning environment for students to develop and practice lifelong wellness behaviors. The garden includes a flat plot of land as well as two raised beds where students harvest produce to be served at lunch, on the afterschool snack cart and in classrooms where students are encouraged to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables.  

Dillard Academy Student Garden Project

 The Dillard Academy garden is a place for students, their families and the community to enrich their minds and nourish their bodies.  The garden was started in 2007 by Ms. Cheryl Alston, with Wayne Food Initiative.  Wayne Food Initiative is a "...community-based local food systems initiative.

The McGillis School

Our goal is to ensure longevity of the garden and foster integration with school curriculum. The grant would support acquisition of: 1) tools and tool storage; and 2) materials for indoor and winter growing. Currently working in the garden requires tools from elsewhere reducing the ease with which teachers and classes can engage with the garden. With our short growing season curriculum integration requires materials that integrate indoor and winter growing with the garden.
