What is the Montezuma School to Farm Project?

The Montezuma School to Farm Project (MSTFP) works solely within Montezuma County providing programming across our rural  school districts. MSTFP currently works in two separate school districts from PreK through high school. We provide monthly programming during the school day for all students PreK-5th grade in Mancos and Cortez. MSTFP also provides Friday programming in the Mancos garden for students PreK-8th grade. All of our lessons are aligned to CO state standards and focus on the topics of nutrition, resource conservation and food production.

​

Our Mission:

The Montezuma School to Farm Project (MSTFP) unites our local agricultural heritage with our growing future by engaging students at the crossroads of food production, resource conservation, and nutrition through educational experiences.

​

Our Vision:

We envision leading the region in experiential garden education by creating generational change in 

students’ food literacy.
