Bridging Classroom and Community through
Scholarship, Citizenship, Stewardship, and Sustainability




Children tend to crops during the Farm Hands Afterschool Program, Spring 2010

The EduCulture Project can now be found on Facebook!

The EduCulture Project is bridging classroom and community through scholarship, stewardship, citizenship and sustainability. Our locally grown programs partner Bainbridge Island farms, schools, and families to teach and learn about farm stewardship and food citizenship, and producing locally grown food to serve in our schools and serve the community. We cultivate lived experiences with farming and food for local students, teachers, and community members that contribute to conserving a taste of Bainbridge Island for this and future generations.
