Our school gardens are growing veggies for the cafeteria! In partnership with The School Garden Doctor and Napa Valley CanDo, members of the Napa Valley School Garden Network are growing a Garden-to-Cafeteria program.
The pilot, dubbed The Z Project, involves school and community gardens in growing, harvesting, and selling zucchini/summer squash to Napa’s Operative for School food Health (NOSH), the self-operating food service program in NVUSD.
