How does your lunch taste? Students at the Philips Academy Charter School in the US say their lunch taste fresh and “proud”.

From grades 6 to 8 students in the school had to grow their own lunch. On the small farm inside their kitchen, they grew crops like broccoli and many kinds of Asian greens.

Each month, students from different grades come to observe （ 觀察） and water them. The farm produced about 8 pounds （3.6 kg） of leafy greens every three weeks.
