About the Program: 

I want to create 6 100 sq foot raised beds with railroad ties. I want cooperative groups to be responsible for their specific bed. This would entail choosing seed growing the seed in a green house cleaning plot transplanting and watering and weeding. Each group would share their yield with other students and through E. Sarasota I want to invite local chefs to come in and prepare dishes from our yield. I plan to incorporate academics through a mini farmers market in the future.
