IWCS Receives $15,000 for "Farm to Fork" Program

In early 2020, Bayer Fund’s America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education partnered with local farmers to nominate rural public school districts and award grants to enhance their science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum. Because area farmers answered the call, through Grow Rural Education, Bayer Fund awarded a $15,000 grant to Isle of Wight County Schools (IWCS).

IWCS will use the Grow Rural Education funds to purchase materials for the construction of a greenhouse at the Land Lab. Agriculture students from Smithfield and Windsor high schools will use the greenhouse to grow vegetables, such as lettuce, collards, and broccoli, that will be used for school lunches across the division.
