Nationally, the Farm to School initiative supports opportunities for kids to learn how things grow in-person. Last week, close to 200 7th Grade students from Lincoln Park Middle School took a trip to Ecolibrium3's Urban Farm at LSC to do just that.

The stations range from learning about the importance of compost and amending soil, soil structures, and really looking at and investigating soil.
Pollinators, the important role that they play in growing our foods and also the vegetable of the year is collard so we have stations that our students are planting that and will have that to grow over the summer.
Research shows that when students are involved with planting and growing food and knowing where that comes from, they're more actively engaged in eating that food and incorporating it into their diets.
So much a part of a successful Farm to School initiative is the collaborations within a community.
So it's bringing us all together - - food really ties people together just in general -- so it's a great way for the community to really embrace that, get the information out and working together to have these hands-on learning activities taking place.
