From farmers to students, parents, school food administrators, teachers and activists, there are many people making Farm to School programs possible. Read the stories of some of the people we call, Farm to School Rockstars. Kevin Hesser is definitely one of these rockstars. He has been infusing hands-on gardening into his curriculum in San Andreas, CA, for almost two decades. He recalls when he started teaching about food and gardens that he had to get creative since these programs were few and far between. Now garden-based education is much more common, and both teachers and students are seeing the benefits. Kevin says, “There is a power in that hands-on approach. A garden provides the inspiration and space that we need to learn.”
