Past Programming

Please note this section is for archival purposes only. In 2013, thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, All Things Food / Bouffe 360° has partnered with Canadian Organic Grower’s Growing Up Organic Program to provide Farm-to-School programming in SD&G. Growing Up Organic’s Farmgate Cafés and School Garden Programming are now available to schools in SD&G and Prescott-Russell. Learn more about the new program here.

Farm-to-School Program

What is a Farm-to-School Program?

Our Farm-to-School program connects students to local food, farms and sustainable livelihoods. This can include: helping schools to organize local food events, salad bar programs, school gardens and educational farm visits; providing resources for in-class education, organizing skill-building workshops for educators, and more!

Our Farm-to-School Launch in SDG

On June 21st, 2011 we launched Farm-to-School in SDG at Seaway District High School! A Farm-to-School pancake breakfast for students was held, featuring locally ground flour, and all locally produced fresh berries, apple cider, maple syrup and eggs.
