Market Farming

This is great--should be mandatory for all schools.  I am trying to
get the middle school here to do a farmer's market.   These kids are
surrounded by agriculture, yet have such a detached connection between
what they eat and what grows in the fields beside the schools.
Plenty of potential customers--including the cafeteria.

Has anyone had experience getting one started in a school??
