Any size of agricultural farm established in urban or residential areas, outdoors, on the roof, indoors, even in a schoolyard. Can be cooperative, commercial, educational, therapeutic, demonstration, etc.
The school established gardens in the front yard in 2019 for classroom activities, fresh vegetables, and fruit production. The produce goes to school lunches or local food banks.
This high production garden serves garden and culinary classes and the PT Food Bank during the summer months since 2012. Students have classes on multiple days. Volunteers work on Fridays 9-11.
The orchard began in 2010 and now has 70 trees producing over 1500 pounds of fruit for students to eat fresh or go to the food bank when school isn't in session. To learn about individual tree types, their production, and their care go here: https://sites.google.com/site/blueheronschoolorchard/
