Colorado Early Colleges Fort Collins has received a $32,000 USDA Farm to School Grant with the help of the Colorado Charter Schools School Food Authority. Over the next two years, this grant will fund the Growing Gardens: Growing Lives program, focusing on classrooms, kitchens, and communities. This program offers students hands-on opportunities in gardening, cooking, healthy eating, and understanding local food systems. 🥕 CEC hosts school gardens at Fort Collins Middle School and Fort Collins High School where students help design, plant, and maintain the gardens. 🌱 They participate in weekly harvests, cooking classes, and taste tests to experience the value of local food. Summer produce is sold at the Fort Collins Farmer’s Market, with proceeds supporting the program. Food Systems classes will explore the culture of food represented by the student body by sharing and re-creating traditional food recipes from Latino and BIPOC communities. CEC partners with five local farmers and ranchers to source organic produce and grass-fed beef for school lunches. The Patrick Leahy Edible Gardens project will enhance the program by improving garden and kitchen infrastructure, thereby increasing the program's sustainability. The mission is to empower students to positively impact their communities through local food relationships while cultivating life skills and a deeper understanding of personal health and wellbeing. 💡 #CharterPublicSchools #Education #Colorado #CharterSchools
