AgAcademy students visited Osage Prairie Farm in south Springfield to learn about community-supported agriculture.
In October, AgAcademy students learned about Springfield Community Gardens, an organization dedicated to growing fresh, nutritious food for local schools and senior centers throughout the community. Later in the month, AgAcademy fifth-grade students visited an SCG garden and harvested sweet potatoes, which will go to local families in need of food assistance. This experience reinforces the program’s purpose of teaching students about agriculture, environmental stewardship and food systems. “We love the opportunities our AgAcademy students have to learn beyond the classroom,” said AgAcademy leaders.
