  • 1.  Food Corps or Big Green

    I was wondering if anyone has any experience in working with Big Green or Food Corps? Have you used them to start a garden at your school? What was your experience like? How much support do they lend to schools etc.

    I am going to stay tuned for the response to this question because I really wanted to use their program last summer too (where they provide money to pay your students to work in the school garden over the summer- amazing!!!) but I had zero luck getting anyone to answer my emails or get back to me on how to start. It seems like a great program though- I hope somebody out there has info on how to contact them!

    I would love to have some funds to pay a student or two to do work over the summer. Is this a National organization?
