Saratoga Middle/High School Ag Program

Agriculture students and FFA members learn about various aspects of agriculture, including topics focused on plant and animal sciences, horticulture, gardening, beekeeping, and agribusiness via classroom exercises and hands-on experience. They grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers in a greenhouse, and they also care for livestock at a small farm adjacent to the school. Fresh produce is used in the school lunch program.
