Authentic and meaningful learning experiences
Field trips at JVTF’s Center for Food Education are wrapped around our flagship program, Good School Food. Every Good School Food lesson and field trip aligns with the Alabama Course of Study. This hands-on education model connects students to food, farming, and the culinary arts through standards-based, cross-curricular lessons during the school day.
We are currently scheduling schools for the 2023-2024 & 2024-2025 school years.
