When you open a Farm My School veggie box, you’re holding more than a collection of fresh produce. You’re holding the work of students who have sown seeds, tended soil, and discovered first-hand where real food comes from.
Our boxes are filled with crisp, seasonal vegetables — but also with something deeper: the skills, pride, and possibility that come when young people learn by growing.
From School Grounds to Kitchen Tables
Our farms in Bellarine and soon to be Colac, are built on a simple but radical idea — that under-utilised school grounds can become productive food hubs.
Here, lettuces, snow peas, and herbs grow side by side with confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Students aren’t just learning about food systems; they’re feeding their own communities. Each box that leaves the farm carries the flavour of the season and the story of the next generation.
Nourishment Beyond Food
Every order has ripple effects. Families receive nutritious food that’s travelled metres, not miles. Students see the tangible results of their effort. Trainees step into pathways toward meaningful work in regenerative farming. And communities begin to experience schools not only as places of education, but as places of nourishment and connection.
This is why our veggie boxes are different: they embody a future where education and food security grow together.
National Organic Week asks us to pause and consider how food is grown. Our farms honour regenerative and organic principles — no synthetic fertilisers, no harmful sprays — just living soil, seasonal cycles, and healthy ecosystems.
Ordering a box this week is more than a transaction. It’s a statement that good food should nurture both people and planet, and that education can be rooted in the soil beneath our feet.
This spring, our veggie boxes are full of the season’s best produce and the stories of the students who grew them. Bringing one home is about more than what’s on your plate — it’s about being part of a community that’s reimagining what schools can be.
