Warren County High School Garden Receives Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Certification

7/8/2014

PictureNCDA auditor Vincent Wyche meets with students to ask them details about their harvesting procedures. Mr. Wyche also did an excellent job of explaining all steps to the audit and why these measures are important for food safety.

Warren County High School's garden has officially been deemed "GAP certified," by the NC Department of Agriculture, enabling all produce grown to be sold directly to the school system! Students were trained in food safety and ensured our harvesting procedures were sanitary and well-practiced. We are excited to grow leafy greens such as cabbage and collards in the school garden this fall, hopefully turning a profit for our 4H Garden Gnomes! A HUGE THANK YOU to Working Landscapes for funding this important project, as well as NC State Cooperative Extension for the training. Also a shout out to North Stokes High School for being the first high school to GAP certify their garden in the state! Who's next? Our next step is to create a shareable resource so other schools can certify their gardens. Stay tuned and feel free to contact us for any questions.
