Organic K-12
If we're lucky, the appreciation of healthy organic food starts before we learn to walk or talk. It starts with our first delicious bite and grows throughout our entire life. And, the more we learn about the benefits of organic farming, the more we grow to appreciate all it offers to our family, our planet and the health of future generations. Take a look at some of the creative ways educators are teaching future generations about the beauty of organic farming.
Elementary School Highlight: Brookside School Farm - A 1 acre empty lot turned into an organic CSA and learning center for the Elementary school and community.
Middle School Highlight: Edible School Yard - Now thriving, Martin Luther King Jr. school was one of the first schools to implement organic gardening and cooking into their curriculum.
High School Highlight: Happy Chickens Lay Healthy Eggs Blog - Orren Fox, a 15 year-old chicken and bee keeper proves the value of exposing kids to faming.
