Sugar Beet Schoolhouse

In 2012 our community began building a grocery co-op that celebrates local producers and growers called Sugar Beet Food Co-op. In the process, we organized a 501c3 called Sugar Beet Schoolhouse that would continue to serve our diverse community with food literacy programming once the co-op opened.

In January 2017 Sugar Beet Schoolhouse grew to include a shared use commercial kitchen to serve as an incubator for budding food business, a small greenhouse for growing and education and a teaching kitchen for our cooking classes for all ages.

We offer after school programs at area schools and In 2017 we will plant and manage three school gardens and a community garden that benefits the food pantry. Our scholarship fund ensures that everyone in our community can access our programs and invite community partners to use our commercial kitchen and event space to host special events and meetings.

Our mission is to provide positive programming that inspires people to connect with Good Food.
