I want to focus my instruction on culturally/regionally significant activities--canning fish, putting up wild game (hoping to do a weekend camp where students will get to clean and put up freshly harvested big game animal/s.) In the spring, I want to help them get a garden started (school just build a greenhouse this spring.)

So few kids - and adults too, I'm ashamed to say - don't have a clue as to how food is produced and where it comes from.

Have you read anything on Alice Waters' project?

You might find a lot of cool ideas there.
