AGRARIAN ADVENTURE What’s the organization? Agrarian Adventure is a non-profit organization working with food issues concentrated within Tappan Middle School in Ann Arbor. Agrarian Adventure has worked to create a one-acre student-run organic garden at the school that fosters learning about agriculture and locally grown foods. Through integration with the educational curriculum, the program also enables students to learn about cooking and healthy eating. Eventually, the organization aims to address issues within their own school lunch program in order to provide healthier, locally sourced, and tasty food to its students. The DFE will focus on the transition of the school lunch program.

rough draft - i'm speaking more with the director thurs. AGRARIAN ADVENTURE What’s the organization? “Teachers, parents and community members are working together at Ann Arbor's Tappan Middle School to transform the way school children think about food and eating. Their goal is nothing less than overhauling the school lunch program and in doing so, offering schoolchildren an alternative to the fast-food messages and values that saturate our lives.” -Ann Arbor Public School newsletter
