Since 2004, Seven Generations Ahead has implemented Farm to School programs reaching more than 100 schools in the Chicago metropolitan area.

For $160, you'll become certified to teach Fresh from the Farm, earn CPDU credits and walk away with resources and curriculum materials from this 3-day workshop. Nikki, public health department program coordinator said about the training, "Getting the corn (flash) drive with all the resources and permission to make copies (instead of having to buy the workbooks) and the curriculum materials plus the training was over and beyond what I expected."
