Farm to School Program
by Three Rivers Park District

The Farm to School program provides access for students to explore & understand the natural world through the lens of food production & gardening. Through multiple hands-on experiences throughout the K-12 curricula, students earn a breadth of knowledge about personal & community health and the importance of a healthy food system. Through school gardens, an outdoor learning environment is created that can be tied into classroom learning, afterschool & summer programming & other enrichment opportunities.
