Schenectady Urban Farm (SUF) is one of our Farm to School program's oldest and most dedicated partners. From raising seedlings and donating produce to hosting field trips and classroom lessons, SUF helps bring agricultural education to life. They are also a cornerstone of our Community Compost Project, turning over 100,000 pounds of Zoller Elementary cafeteria waste into nutrient-rich soil for our school gardens.
Powered by the Urban Agriculture and Community Gardens grant, SUF is now helping us expand student outreach, upgrading infrastructure, and helping us break ground on a district farm for hands-on STEM and nutrition learning.
Thank you for your continued support to keep our Farm to School program thriving! #schenectadyrising #districtpartner 🌻✨
