Education

 

Through the use of workshops and age appropriate curriculum, the Sustainable Agriculture Program puts educational outreach at the forefront of everything we do. With the growing concerns of food security and accessibility, it is not enough that we provide a source of food for the community. It is imperative that we build education into every avenue that we serve. All workshops are free of charge and open to all members of the CofC and Charleston communities.
