The Canadian Farm to School Grant brings the local harvest to schools by providing school gardens, nutrition education, advocacy training and salad bars. The program is available to schools, kindergarten through grade 12, across Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories. Since 2016, the program has awarded $1,558,500

Kids who grow veggies, eat veggies, so school gardens can make a big difference. Through our Garden Grant program, U.S. and Canadian K-12 schools and non-profit organizations turn outdoor spaces into powerful hands-on learning gardens that connect kids with food, spark their curiosity and support classroom curriculum

The Bee Grant program allows for U.S. and Canadian K-12 schools and non-profit organizations to receive support for educational beehives and bee programming so students can observe bees up close and learn about the vital role these pollinators play in our food system.

In partnership with School Food Matters and Whole Foods Market stores, students go on a journey from farm to market. Students attend a school assembly to learn more about where food comes from and participate in a chef-led culinary class where they perfect their own chutney recipes using in-season produce. They also visit a farm to harvest the ingredients for their chutney, design labels and price their product.

School Garden Grants provide schools with funding to transform lifeless outdoor spaces into thriving gardens where students can grow fresh fruit and vegetables.

The Honeybee programme is designed to raise awareness of the vital importance of honeybees in food production and to introduce teachers to the wonders of keeping bees at school.
