In Kentucky, Floyd County School of Innovation (FCSI) has launched an FFA program hinged on a Freight Farm. The hydroponic farm offers students an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in the controlled environment space. Justin Smith, head of the Freight Farming program, joined us to dive deeper into how the farm is integrated into their school, benefits of being part of an FFA program, and more.

From hands-on learning experiences for their students to providing fresh, locally grown produce to their dining halls — Auburn University’s two vertical farms provide more than just food for their campus. Watch to hear from two key members of the Auburn University team.

Clark University and Sodexo brought a container farm to campus to provide students with the freshest greens possible. Since 2016, they have been growing hyper-local produce successfully just feet from where it's served. We interview key project stakeholders about the benefits of farming on campus, farm logistics, training, and management, and engaging students on campus.

We interviewed the farm operators and student farmers from Saint Joseph’s College in Maine! SJC’s farm doesn’t just supply the campus with fresh greens year-round … It’s also the backbone for several campus sustainability, student employment, and hands-on education initiatives.

Town to Table’s Co-Founder & CEO, Jack Levine, dives deep into his background on how he first found himself inside a Freight Farm during his schooling at Clark University. Now, Town to Table helps other schools integrate engaging farm to school programs directly on campus. You’ll learn how Jack navigates managing and operating other Freight Farms at local schools, where students are able to get invaluable hands-on experience.
