Programs and Links to Resources

School Gardens:

Slow Food USA has developed an extensive guide that you may view by Chapter or search for a school garden in your area.

Curriculum:

Slow Food USA is currently developing our “Good, Clean and Fair School Garden Curriculum.” Here "Good" means enjoying the pleasures of healthy and delicious food, "Clean" is gardening for sustainability, and "Fair" indicates producing food that respects economic and social justice. We currently have the Good volume of the curriculum available for purchase (a hard copy can be shipped to your school or home) or as a free PDF download. The Clean Curriculum is now available. Our local volunteers are available to consult and share our success stories with the lessons. You do not have to be a trained chef to teach these intuitive lessons.

Youth’s Farmers Market:

A complete manual for creating a youth farmers market is available to download.
