About the Program: 

 In 2009 Jamie and his deputy Louise Holland visited the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation in Australia. Inspired by what they saw, Louise rallied support from charities and businesses to fund a pioneering purpose-built pilot project at Orford Primary School in Suffolk.

Orford Primary has been growing and running 3 hour hands on cooking classes as an integrated part of their school life and wider curriculum, and Jamie's Better Food Foundation has taken what they have learned from Orford to create the greater Jamie's Kitchen Garden Project
