 The New Hampton High School FFA Chapter recently installed a greenhouse project including a greenhouse structure with an aquaponics station for starting seeds and a hoop house for extending the growing season of crops. The greenhouse is managed by the FFA and Ag. classes. Produce is used in FACS classes and in the school cafeteria.

 

Through the Northeast Iowa Food & Fitness Initiative, New Hampton has been home to an AmeriCorps/FoodCorps member since the 2011-2012 school year.
