My Project

Today, many children only experience food coming from a grocery store. Reconnecting our children to food’s origins can build their conceptual understanding of food sources, while providing an opportunity to form healthy eating habits and learn about the environmental implications of growing organically or transporting food long distances. These supplies will give my students the opportunity to learn the canning process while safely preserving the produce they are growing on their school farm. This skill will teach them self-reliance that will be essential to their success and well-being later in life.
