Growing Food and Sustainability is a new hands-on environmental education program for the community of Middleton, WI. For the first season, we will primarily be engaging middle and high school youth in a program focusing on gardening and food production but also incorporating nutrition, cooking, art, people-powered transportation, and multi-age relationship building through teaching and mentorships.
The program’s home base will be the garden and greenhouse, located at Middleton High School and Kromrey Middle School, where we will hold the majority of the workshops and host open garden work hours. However, we will also expand our work into the greater Middleton community by running a kids activity table at the Downtown Middleton Farmers’ Market, taking group bike trips to the nearby Bock Community Garden, and delivering (by bike trailer) a percentage of the produce we grow to the Middleton Outreach Ministry’s food pantry.
