Farm-to-School Program
Each year SGN supports five K-12 schools in Sonoma County with maintaining their edible school gardens and promoting fresh and seasonal eating habits. We provide technical consultation, plants, seeds, and gardening materials, host farm field trips, and create curricular resources and recipes for teachers. We also teach monthly harvest lessons at schools using culturally-relevant and climate-smart produce, all sourced locally and in season from small and mid-sized food producers.
We believe that learning about and eating fresh produce at school should be part of a typical day, helping students create healthy nutritional habits.
In the Summer we also offer an annual Cooking from the Garden training, where teachers learn hands-on harvest and cooking techniques whilst exploring cutting-edge nutrition and seasonal nourishment education. These trainings support educators in approaching food literacy through a lens of equity, access, and trauma-informed learning.
