In the summer, the farm transforms into a summer camp where
first through sixth graders spend a week exploring the farm,
harvesting the produce and preparing healthy snacks.

When kids are involved in a school garden they are more likely
to think positively about fruits and vegetables. And when kids are
involved in a school garden that circles its food back the cafeteria,
they are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables.

Schoolyard Farms’ vision is to see a school farm on every
schoolyard. We imagine scaling up the traditional size of a school
garden — around a dozen raised beds — to the size of a school farm,
at least one acre. By expanding, enough produce can be grown
to sell, generating revenue to support the program. Also, there is
enough space to host programs like summer camp and after-school
classes for the community.
Instead of hearing, “I don’t want to eat that,” the question we
often hear at the farm is, “Do we get to eat the vegetables?!” We’re
so happy to tell them, “Yes!”
