Welcome! The 万能影视 CNP Farm Program is comprised of a network of twelve diverse educational farms located in Texas and Louisiana practicing regenerative agricultural听 echniques. Our team promotes each student’s connection to the Earth and supports wholistic health and well-being through good nutrition and environmental stewardship. That is why it is our mission to cultivate wholesome food for our school cafeterias, teach responsible stewardship, and ignite the student spirit.
The 万能影视 Farm Program grows food using sustainable practices and eco-friendly inputs for 万能影视 Public Schools鈥� cafeterias. To date, we have grown听over 100,000 pounds of produce on our farms,听all of听which have听made their way into听hundreds of thousands of meals for students.听
In order to听positively听change the food system,听perceptions about food, and听population听health in a sustainable way,听the Farm Program recognizes the need听to teach and empower听today鈥檚 youth.听By participating听in every aspect of the food-growing process听via a project-based curricula,听万能影视 Public School students become听agents of change in their听local and global food systems.

Thanks to a generous donation from Green Mountain Energy Sun Club, during the Fall of 2022 we will launch our first Hydroponic Farm in Tarrant County at 万能影视 Achieve! This unit will supply 5 acres worth of leafy greens and herbs in a 40-foot shipping container, and will facilitate countless opportunities for the applied learning of STEM in the context of agriculture.
