Farm to School
Support Farm to School! Join us Memorial Day weekend for our first farm to school fundraiser concert, Farm to School Aid.
School & Community Field Trips
Gardener-in-Residence Program
Through our Gardener-in-Residence program, Rooted provides schools with planning, development, and staffing for school gardens, in addition to other farm to school (F2S) opportunities, including cooking clubs and field trips to local farms.
Madison School Farm
Madison School Farm offers hands-on, farm-based education for youth of all ages. We actively involve youth in the entire process of running a small-scale organic farm, from planting and harvesting to cooking with the produce they grow. Students gain a deeper connection to food, the natural world, and local food systems.
Wisconsin School Garden Network
The Wisconsin School Garden Network (WSGN) is growing the school garden movement in our state by offering support for new and existing gardens that serve Wisconsin’s youth and all of the people who make these gardens possible.
WSGN is building a community of support for educators across the state to connect with and learn from each other.
Farm to Early Care and Education Resources
Rooted is proudly developing free Wisconsin farm to ECE resources for ECE providers, support organizations, food service staff, and food producers in the state.
Resources include information on purchasing local foods and preparing healthy snacks; hands-on learning about food and nutrition; gardening with young children; and more.
Teaching in Nature's Classroom
Rooted, Life Lab, and the Wisconsin School Garden Network present Teaching in Nature’s Classroom, an online course for educators new to outdoor and garden-based learning, as well as educators who are experienced in the field, to consider best practices and reflect on their own teaching practice in outdoor learning environments, with a focus on school and community youth gardens.
