My Project

Our students enjoy coming to school to learn to grow food for their community, and know that at the same time, they are learning skills to help themselves in the future!

In growing food for the community, students are immersed in the entrepreneurial aspect of learning a business and enjoy it when they hear how the chef enjoys our products.

With these supplies, students will be able to use them to produce lettuce and other food for our retail outlets and learn how different foods grow. It is hard for us to compete in the working world, but hopefully, these skills we learn will be a difference!
