Case Study: Integration of Farm to School in Career and Technical Education

This case study details a project implemented by the Growing Minds Farm to School (F2S) program of Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP), a nonprofit based in Asheville, North Carolina (NC), serving the Southern Appalachian region. It was made possible by a two-year Patrick Leahy Farm to School grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. Efforts focused on integrating F2S into existing curricula used in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and making connections across the classroom, cafeteria, and community to deepen educators’ and students’ connection to local food and farms.
