The three wellness-focused agricultural spaces that anchor this work across the district are Grizzly Grove at Mission Hills High School, El Huerto de los Sue\u00f1os \/ Orchard of Dreams at Twin Oaks Elementary, and the Love and Kindness Garden at Double Peak School, with additional spaces in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">What makes SMUSD\u2019s farm to school project unique is its intentional connection between food, farms and social-emotional wellness. Grant funding supports a school social worker who helps facilitate these experiences, ensuring that food- and farm-based wellness activities are guided by trained mental health staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#b8a47a45;font-size:18px\"><strong><em>\u201cWhen we arrive at the farm, I just feel like I can breathe good there\u2014like I am peaceful,\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>one Mission Hills High School student shared.<strong> <em>\u201cEven when we taste the food, it makes me feel healthier just tasting it. Those days at the farm are my best school days.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">That connection between personal well-being, food and the land is also central to SMUSD\u2019s community partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#b8a47a45;font-size:18px\"><strong><em>\u201cMany of the youth of today while carrying a value system for the ecology of the earth do not always carry this over to their food,\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>Jack Ford of Stehly Farms said.<strong> <em>\u201cFood is not a product or a thing, but a direct relationship with Mother Nature.
