In 2018, REAP partnered with East High students and staff to ignite a unique Farm to School learning opportunity at Madison East High School. Led by students and by staff in the occupational and physical therapy and special education departments, this initiative converted an underused greenhouse into a living classroom so students could grow, taste, share, and sell vegetable, herb, and ornamental plants. Grants from North Central Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NCR-SARE) Youth Educator and Rotary Foundation of Madison provided financial support for the initiative.
