D'Vine Path awarded Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club grant

FALLBROOK – The Rancho Santa Fe Garden club awarded D'Vine Path with a $5,000 grant to assist with D'Vine Path's new "Farm-to-Table" project, April 6.

With this grant, D'Vine Path will be able to buy new garden beds, mulch, and grading that will go towards building a new garden. This garden will be used for growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs that will be cared for and cultivated by the students. Once the crops are in season, the students will research dishes that can be made using only their homegrown, organic ingredients. These dishes will then be served to the parents.

This project will help teach the students about the importance of eating healthy. Students will research the health benefits of each crop and this will inspire them to continue working towards living a healthy lifestyle.

This project will greatly benefit D'Vine Path students in developing their agricultural and hospitality expertise with hands-on experience in both fields, ensuring that the students will have necessary experience when pursuing a job.

The planning and pursuing of the "Farm-to-Table'' project will take place this summer, allowing an adequate amount of time for the garden to be started and for the crops to grow. The "Farm-to-Table" event date will be announced at a later time.

Overall, the "Farm-to-Table" project will be extremely beneficial to the students in many different ways. D'Vine Path greatly appreciates the generosity of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and looks forward to future collaboration.
