About the Program:
To grow fresh produce in order to develop a fresh food market. It has become clear that the availability of healthy food choices in close proximity to our school is very limited. Students and staff would benefit greatly if healthy food was available and inexpensive. Building the garden will be done by are construction students. Distribution will help students to see the workings of a small business. They will ascertain an understanding of small development budgeting and sustainability.
