  • Curriculum Toolkit

  • Over the years, we have honed in on priority curricular units for every grade level, preschool through 12th grade, that build on each other and provide a meaningful food education for the students we work with.

  • This Toolkit is the compilation of these units, along with their related teaching standards and sequence. We are constantly adding to this site, so please check in again soon for updates.

    We designed this curriculum framework to help our students grasp the following key concepts by the time they graduate from High School:

    Feel confident in making healthy food choices

    Appreciate the farming profession

    Know that everyone can grow food

    Understand the connection between healthy soil, healthy plants and healthy people

    Recognize a regenerative, local food system is inclusive and promotes a healthy ecosystem.
