Drew Farm (DPSCD)


  • Sobre Nós

    Drew Farm is a two-acre farm at Drew Transition Center, a DPSCD school serving exceptional 18-26 year olds with cognitive and physical impairments. The farm consists of six unheated greenhouses ranging from 3,000 to 4320 square feet as well as one acre and a half acres of field production space. On average, 20,000 pounds of fresh, organically produced food are grown for the school lunch program. The crop plan is aligned to district menus and salad bars to optimize usage. Drew is the center-piece of the school garden program and was designed as a replicable model to increase in house food production district-wide.  

    Drew Farm also hosts field trips and community events for students and DPSCD families to learn about local agriculture, healthy eating, and sustainability.
