About the Program:
In the fall of 2021, the Edible Schoolyard Project secured the lease to a six-acre community farm located in South Stockton. This came after more than two years of building ties with residents in the area through an after-school cooking class at Taylor Leadership Academy and a program to distribute organic CSA boxes throughout the community.
The farm will soon host groups of students for classes that teach gardening and culinary skills, and will continue to be a place where community members can grow food on plots of land.
