In this episode of Cafeteria Confessions, we visit The SEED School of Miami—the only public boarding school in Florida—to explore how food, farming, and education intersect in this unique 24/5 learning environment. Emily speaks with gardening and resilience teacher Andi Potamkin about the evolution of SEED’s on-campus garden into a credited class that’s teaching students life skills, responsibility, and a deep connection to nature.
The episode also features candid conversations with students about their current meal program and their hopes as SEED looks to bring food service back in-house with scratch-cooked meals. From growing produce to running a Friday farm stand, students share how the garden is transforming their relationship with food and equipping them with skills far beyond the classroom.
