Prairie Crossing Charter School

Prairie Crossing Charter School has over 40 raised beds on our campus.  Each classroom has access to several raised beds, where they grow crops chosen by the teachers and students.  

The school hosts a monthly Farm to Table lunch.  At this event, crops harvested from our campus gardens are incorporated into a healthy menu.  Students present to the community about how they grew the featured crops, and are able to taste the fruits of their labor.

Classes also use their produce on other ways.  Class cooking projects allow students to choose menues, learn about food preparation, and eat the food they've grown.  Some produce is donated to local food pantries or sent home with students to use in home meals.
