About the Program: 

South Dade Senior High has a 62 year old agricultural education program and functioning agricultural row crop facility that encompasses approximately 8 acres. It is the program's goal to every year produce vegetables during the winter season that are distributed through our school's farmer's market, and that are also distributed regionally and nationally through local distributors. The students are involved in every aspect of production from planting through harvesting and take pride in producing crops that include: tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, beans, squash, zucchini, onions, cabbage, and other specialty crops. Most crops are sold, but some are also donated to local charities and nonprofits.
