Program areas at The Cornucopia Project
School gardens: The Cornucopia Project's school garden program engages students from preschool through fifth grade in hands-on garden learning, teaching them how to grow food while integrating lessons across various subjects. The program operates in partnership with schools across new hampshire, providing both in-garden experiences and classroom garden kits to make garden education accessible to a wider range of schools. Through this program, students develop a deeper connection to The environment and their food, while schools receive ongoing support to sustain these outdoor classrooms.
Educational farm: The Cornucopia Project's educational farm serves as a hub for hands-on learning about sustainable food production. Student farmers, including middle and high school youth, learn regenerative farming techniques while cultivating crops for local restaurants, school cafeterias, and food pantries. The farm offers paid work-study positions and educational internships, providing students with valuable life skills, job experience, and academic credit. The farm also hosts field trips, workshops, and community events that engage The broader public in agricultural education.
Healthy cooking (kitchen program): The Cornucopia Project's kitchen program brings local ingredients into The classroom and home kitchens, offering cooking lessons that highlight nutritious, plant-based meals. The program is designed to inspire young chefs and promote healthy eating habits. Activities range from classroom snack-making and after-school cooking clubs to farm-to-table experiences, where students harvest produce from The farm and prepare meals on-site. The program also provides take-home cooking kits that involve families in creating wholesome meals.
