Does anyone have a bedding crop project that they do in class? I am going to have my students start seeds and grow a crop to sell to the culinary class. Trying to wrap my head around creating a project for the kids to do. Does anyone out there have one that they do and willing to share?

Jenna, before I give a suggestion or share what I have I need a little more information. Do you have a greenhouse? what is your time frame for having the crop ready for the class? What type of plants were you looking to grow (lettuce, kale, herbs, vegetables)? What is the ultimate goal for selling the crop to the culinary class? Are you and the culinary instructor teaming up on the project?

Trish is correct, there is a lot of other information you need to consider when selecting a crop.
One year, we tried growing herbs for the FACS class. There were other issues and it never worked out but we were only out the money for the seed (cheap, bought at farm store).
Different types of lettuces and kale would be a neat idea - they don't require a lot of space and the finish time is quick.
I have a greenhouse and we will be growing various herbs for the school restaurant. The goal is for the students to manage a crop from start to finish. We have from now until February to do this project. We will be providing the herbs and the culinary students will use them in their recipes.
Thank you in advance!
