Farm to school

The Garden City Harvest Farm to School program encourages youth to explore connections between food, agriculture, science, and their everyday lives. We offer hands-on, experiential learning opportunities at the PEAS Farm, in school gardens, in Missoula County Public School classrooms, and at many of our other farms and gardens.

I have definitely had kids [who] have found that garden space to be kind of the healing piece of what gardening can be...You can see it in them. There are so many expectations in a classroom—you've got to sit and you’ve got to be quiet in the hallway. In the garden you can relax a little bit—you still have expectations but you can relax them. Just a space for kids to be quiet. - Kinza, participating teacher, Farm to School
