2020 Real Organic Project Certified
Encinitas USD moved beyond our conventional CCOF organic farming (no pesticide use) to a full regenerative agriculture model. Real Organic farms increase soil fertility, promote biological biodiversity, improve sustainability of farm systems and build community. We are doing our part to mitigate climate change by how we grow produce for our student lunches.
