SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Harlem Grown’s intensive school partnerships give students the opportunity to not only grow produce from seed to harvest but to also cook with those nutritious ingredients.
Through learning about the history and cultural significance of the ingredients they grow, students begin to identify and enjoy healthy dishes. In a community where fresh, healthy food is often inaccessible or unaffordable, students learn about healthy eating and sustainable food systems and become leaders in their communities.
We visit each of our partner schools once per week during the school year, teaching lessons ranging from plant part identification to the cultural and historical significance of different ingredients and the food systems that bring them from farm to table.
