Everybody is getting into local vegetable gardening. This article shows how first lady Michelle Obama tends her home garden (aka, the White House garden!) with students from local schools. Note the raised beds and the regional crops (Lincoln Oats and Paw Paws) she is growing.
I am not familiar with FoodCorps (read the article), but sounds like something to look into for our schools.
