Your child's cafeteria is dedicated to bringing the farm right to the lunch table! We will be growing a garden of vegetables to use in our lunch program during Fall 2026, and we will educate students on garden practices and the benefits of eating local.

Stay tuned to see how our garden grows this summer!
