Students Grow Food and Skills at School
from Charlottesville News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Charlottesville High School’s urban farming program is finally paying off—students are now serving fresh lettuce in the cafeteria, the culmination of a 12-year journey that’s turned classroom learning into real-world skills. Beyond planting, kids are building greenhouses, irrigation systems, and chicken coops, raising breeds and harvesting eggs while mastering construction, design, and resource management. The program’s hands-on approach teaches more than agriculture—it’s reshaping education by connecting students to food systems, community, and practical craftsmanship, with tomatoes and peppers on the horizon to expand their impact even further.
