Students Grow Salads to Feed School

Students at Dos Pueblos High School are turning lunchtime into a salad revolution, whipping up over 7,400 healthy meals since January—grown right on campus in eco-friendly hydroponic towers. With a $2,500 boost from the Wakefield Believe Big Charitable Foundation, they’re scaling up, slashing water use by 37,000 gallons, and partnering with local spots like CaDario to fund their mission. Founded by Jackson Simmons-Furlati after his food bank experience, this program isn’t just nourishing bodies—it’s teaching real-world skills and inspiring a greener, healthier school culture.
