IMAGINE A SCHOOL THAT CAN FEED ITS COMMUNITY.
A FARM, BUILT WITHIN A SCHOOL.
Farm my School is a not-for-profit association working to transform unused land within schools into regenerative market gardens providing food for the local community.
With the aim of developing urban farming that connects farmers with schools, the program brings local food production back into the heart of our communities. The commercially viable market garden becomes the heart of the community, providing produce to school families through the provision of weekly veggie boxes and supplying food to the school canteen.
The program promotes healthy eating, ecological stewardship and connected communities. By transforming urban spaces, Farm My School utilises permaculture principles, inspiring students to care for the Earth, themselves and the people around them.
