“Building the new aquila elementary educational urban farm created multiple new programs during 2021, including classroom engagement in spring to plant the beds, farm camps each summer month, and classroom engagement in fall to harvest. We also instigated a weekly free community (potluck if you can but not required) including dishes from over 20 local restaurants and grocers that ran for 16 weeks. We also started an indoor growing program for interns and apprentices. Another new program was contracting for robbinsdale school district to teach a version of our own farm camp but online for their district students. We continued our intern/apprentice program with changes to upgrade the level of education, we also performed our 2nd year of purchasing food for winter distributions when the gardens closed down but were supported in upgrading that service project with the help of several 3m operations optimizations team (for which 3m also provided 500 for each 25 hours of volunteering to our organization) we also conducted more online cook with seeds programs, extending it to all ages.”

“Our educational efforts to teach people about food, stretching their food budget dollar and how food affects our water, land and many other environmental effects. We teach elementary students as well as have an internship/apprenticeship program of 140hrs (lecture and lab) where eventually our apprentices teach others in the community through skill shares of what theyve learned and hope to share with others. We work with community education to provide sliding scale workshops and classes from soil to table and back again education, with many side shoots such as food waste reduction, etc. Our new partnership with university of st. Thomas has also inspired their engineering capstone teams to build both an active indoor growing cart to be used in classrooms at schools we engage, as well as designing our coming tiny mobile farm (to be built in 2022).”
