SGN Farm-to-school grant application is now open!
We’re excited to announce farm-to-school grants for the 2023-2024 school year.
This opportunity aims to support garden development and revitalization at 5 schools. SGN will provide 90 hours of mentorship to each school: 45 hours for technical assistance to expand the garden production, install or improve drip irrigation and create an outdoor cooking space or mobile kitchen cart. Another 45 hours of support will focus on curriculum and program improvements, as well as nutrition and cooking demonstrations and Harvest of the Month offerings that feature culturally relevant and climate-smart produce sourced from local small producers. Plus, grantee schools will get access to SGN professional development training, grow kits, and additional resources.
