(KUTV) A program in the Jordan School District won the One-in-a-Melon award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for taking fresh food from a garden directly to district cafeterias.
The Landscape Management and Green House Production class is part of the district's JATC program.
"Everything we grow here gets sent to the Jordan School District to be used," said Brett Milliken, who teaches the class.
The new program is held inside a state-of-the-art, 9,000 square-foot greenhouse and is equipped with a heating and cooling system.
Students learn the art of farming, and how to grow a variety of plants and herbs.
