Students plant their first tray of cabbage and discover how a tiny seed holds a whole plant.
Students plant pea shoots and start exploring where their food comes from, and what it does for their bodies.
Students plant radish and trace their food back to its source, thinking in systems.
Out come the scissors. Students harvest, taste and reflect on the whole journey together.
The grow lab comes assembled and rolls right into your classroom.
A short walkthrough is all it takes. No growing experience needed.
Online scaffolding and standards-aligned lessons we build, ready to teach.
Stuck on anything? Call us. A real person picks up.
One tidy rack. No outdoor space, no plumbing, fits any classroom.
A four-week arc, a few minutes of care a day, a harvest they can eat.
A complete grow lab is $1,000 and serves up to 84 students for the year. Most teachers fund theirs through a local sponsor, a grant, their PTO, or DonorsChoose, and we hand you the template for each.
See how teachers fund itThey now have knowledge of how food is grown, transported and all the resources needed to produce a single dinner.
Most of all, they loved to eat the microgreens. I wish we had more of these experiences for more students.
A tray of seeds on a child’s own desk closes the distance between them and the food they eat.
Watching a seed split open and reach for the light is a small daily wonder that pulls kids in.
A class plants, tends, harvests and eats together. Growing food has always been how people gather.
A few quiet minutes a day caring for something alive is good for a child, and for the rest of us too.
There’s real, earned pride in growing something with your own hands, and in feeding the people around you.
Standards alignment, multi-classroom pricing, and a pilot you can evaluate.
Talk to us →$1,000 puts a grow lab in a classroom that couldn't otherwise afford one.
Fund a classroom →We think that's worth fixing, not with a worksheet, but with a tray of seeds on their own desk. Boston Youth Farm Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We started by teaching in Boston classrooms ourselves, and still do, in a small number of schools each term. What we learned there is what makes the grow lab work in your hands.
