Hi, I'm Alex
I am a full-time market farmer, and subsitute teacher. There is something special that happens when a student grows something with their own hands. Purposeful planning can integrate this wonder into your lesson plans, leading to better retention, classroom participation, and stronger learning potential.
You know your students best, I know agriculture. Together, we can design, implement, and launch an ag-ed program at your school to engage students with nature in an effective, next-generation way.
Cultivate Curiousity
We can help:
Launch a thriving school garden with a site audit, raised-bed blueprints, crop rotation plan, and seed-starting calendar in 30 days.
Weave agriculture into existing science curriculum — assistance in crafting NGSS lesson modules for biology, chemistry, and ecology.
Secure $2K–$25K in grants with pre-written templates + insider deadlines for Farm-to-School, USDA, and STEM funds.
Training and support for teachers with zero ag experience: 2-hour “Lunch & Learn” PD + ongoing support.
Host farm-field trips that double as data labs: soil and water tests, pollinator counts, and yield tracking tied to state standards.
Build student-run micro-businesses — CSA shares, farmers-market booths, and profit/loss spreadsheets for entrepreneurship credit.
Source, custom-design, and install low-maintenance hydroponics or aquaponics classroom kits with ongoing support.
Measure ROI with hard data — pre/post test scores, attendance bumps, and disciplinary referral drops from garden programs.
