Company description

Canyon Grove is a K-8 charter school with a mission to educate students in a unique farm meets suburban school setting.  Students often have class in the courtyard between our hoop house and our geothermal greenhouse.  In Farm Class students help harvest for our weekly CSA boxes.  They help cut flowers and make bouquets for our market stand. 

We prioritize learning over everything but make no mistake, we do have production goals and we are constantly using our food and the farm lifestyle to build a community of healthy families right here in the beautiful Wasatch Front and beyond.
