Henry Perrine Baldwin High School

Students in the Work Force Readiness Program (WFRP) plant, tend, manage and harvest from the garden on a daily basis and harvest available produce to include in teacher lunches prepared by students on Thursdays in the WFRP commercial kitchen, which is located directly next to the garden. In addition, WFRP students prepare added value items for sale, including jellies and salsas, pot pies, banana breads various pickled produce items, teas and dried herbs.

By partnering with the Agriculture program, WFRP will be able to have a ready supply of additional produce items to create value added products and to meet their goal of using 100% school grown produce in their weekly plate lunches.
