About the Program: 

Our high school is situated in the middle of the Northern New Jersey suburbs, far removed from the farms that used to service the New York metropolitan area.  We currently have a 2500 square foot garden that we use to grow a multitude of vegetables and flowers.  Our support staff includes one teacher of culinary arts (this writer), interested staff,  a group of 25 dedicated students, and members of the Korean Parent association.
