  • Environmental Responsibility

    If you really enjoy being outdoors in the summer, this course is definitely for you because you get to go outdoors every day and meet new people.

  • Collaborative Learning

    My favourite thing about the Seed to Table program was getting hands-on experience [at Northcote Campus]. It’s been really cool to learn where your food comes from and how it gets to your table.

  • Engage Curiosity

    The seed to table program was life-changing for me and is the best class I've ever taken.
