School Garden Project

Whole Foods Market is helping Madison schools grow a bit greener this spring. The store's School Garden Project will award two plant-savvy schools each $500 to go towards an existing school garden program or the establishment of a new garden. Priority will be given to programs that focus on healthy eating and hands-on garden-to-food education, sustainable agriculture and environmental awareness/education, and the incorporation of produce into school lunch or snack programming.

Teachers, parents or students can apply by submitting a short essay highlighting their current or planned efforts for a comprehensive school garden. Complete guidelines and application can be picked up in-store at the Customer Service Desk or online: School Garden Project Guidelines and Application.

One Dime at a Time for REAP's Farm to School

January - March

Eliminate single-use plastic bags and develop stronger communities all at the same time with our One Dime at a Time campaign. Whole Foods Market offers a 10 cent refund for each grocery bag that customers bring in to reuse. Just tell your cashier you'd like to give your 10 cent refund to our current community partner! This January through March, your dimes will go to REAP's Farm to School Program, a grassroots initiative whose goal is to enhance Wisconsin schools' existing meal programs by introducing fresh, nutritious, local and sustainably grown food to children. The program, like similar "farm-to-school" programs around the country, provide opportunities for children to reconnect with their natural world, strengthen links between the classroom and the lunchroom, and help establish a stable market for local farmers and processors.
