ACUSD School Farm Officially Launches 🌱

This Tuesday, staff members and community members came together to celebrate the grand opening of the ACUSD School Farm. Located on Jackson Gate Road, the school farm is a culmination of months of effort from ACUSD staff members, community members, and local organizations.

Attendees witnessed the official ribbon-cutting ceremony, learned about the property's history, and tasted fresh lettuce grown on the farm and harvested by students the day before. We could not be more excited to see this project officially open! We are looking forward to sharing future updates as the farm grows.
