Commack High School

We started our garden in Spring 2013 with one raised garden bed and, through grant funding, we have expanded to three raised beds. We are seeking additional funding and support to erect winterizing tunnels to extend our growing season so that we are able to provide the local food pantry with more fresh, organic produce. The produce we currently provide leaves the food pantry the day we deliver it which indicates there is a great need for free fresh vegetables and fruits in our community. We are also seeking materials that will help us quantify our crop output each season so that we can plan accordingly over the winter to either sustain or increase our yield. With the support of Whole Kids Foundation, we can provide a greater service to our local community and continue to educate our children about the importance of healthy eating and the significant need for edible gardens.
