The Farm to School program serves students in the Ennis School District. Students engage in regular classes in the newly built Ennis School Garden, receive nutrition education lessons, take field trips to local farms and ranches, participate in Good Thymes Camp (a summer day camp with a focus on sustainable agriculture & natural resource conservation), and much more! The Farm to School program is also working with the Ennis School Lunch program to source and serve more fresh, local foods in the lunchroom.
