Our kids will learn first hand the value of composted soil, natural fertilization techniques and organic pest control. They will grow their food from the bottom up and will appreciate the sin of waste by having a better understanding of what goes into the food-making process. They will learn about hunger and how to help others through sustainable farming and philanthropic organizations, such as "Grow-a-Row," which will take the kids' harvest directly to area food banks for the needy. The kids will also learn first hand about the value of proper exercise,nutrition and wellness, and they will develop a better sense of respect for themselves, each other and their environment.
