GUS Students Partner with The Food Project

Glen Urquhart School in Beverly MA and The Food Project

As part of their service learning program at Glen Urquhart School, eighth graders spent Tuesday morning working with The Food Project. 

The Food Project partnered with Glen Urquhart School in 1991 to use half of GUS’s newly renovated, 7,000-square-foot greenhouse. The Food Project has built a national model of engaging young people in personal and social change through sustainable agriculture. GUS middle school students participate in the Food Project’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Seedlings are started in the GUS greenhouse, grown at Long Hill Farm in Beverly, and distributed through farmers’ markets and hunger relief organizations across the North Shore. Each year over 40,000 pounds of vegetables are grown in the greenhouse, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
