Woodstock Union Middle High School

This project represents the synergy between Farm to School and the Horticulture department at Woodstock Union Middle and High School. The goals of our groups are 1.) To increase local food options being served in the cafeteria 2.) To facilitate a working school garden and greenhouse 3) To build relationships between the school and the greater community 4) To integrate food education through the discipline. We currently have an operating garden and greenhouse that serve as classroom extensions for many disciplines and student groups. These are used to grow vegetables for the cafeteria, community, and students. A grant from the Whole Kids Foundation would allow us to seamlessly stitch together these aspects of our school in a way that is efficient, effective, powerful, and fun by closing the loop from seed to plant to produce to plate to compost--we would offer a complete educational experience for students.
