The Hall County School District’s Agribusiness Center, which is also known as The Farm, has been awarded the Fall Garden of the Season distinction by the Georgia Department of Education’s School Nutrition Division.
The recognition celebrates schools and programs that demonstrate excellence in Farm to School initiatives, local food sourcing and agriculture education.
The Agribusiness Center serves as a hands-on learning environment where students engage in real-world agricultural experiences.
On-site bee hives allow students to cultivate and harvest honey, while the Meat Science Center provides training in meat preparation and processing.
Students also learn how to raise cattle for beef, with beef products shared with school cafeterias throughout the district.
Nearly 5,000 students took field trips to the farm last year and over 900 community members participated in tours.
“The Farm embodies what public education can and should be—students learning by doing, connecting with their community, and understanding the real-world impact of their work,” said Superintendent Will Schofield. “This recognition from the Georgia Department of Education is a testament to the vision and dedication of our staff, students, and partners who make this program thrive.”
