Miami: The SEED School of Miami

In this episode of Cafeteria Confessions, we visit The SEED School of Miami—the only public boarding school in Florida—to explore how food, farming, and education intersect in this unique 24/5 learning environment. Emily speaks with gardening and resilience teacher Andi Potamkin about the evolution of SEED’s on-campus garden into a credited class that’s teaching students life skills, responsibility, and a deep connection to nature.  The episode also features candid conversations with students about their current meal program and their hopes as SEED looks to bring food service back in-house with scratch-cooked meals. From growing produce to running a Friday farm stand, students share how the garden is transforming their relationship with food and equipping them with skills far beyond the classroom.
