Schoolyard Pizza Oven Project
A Schoolyard Pizza Oven is a permanent earthen oven built on a school campus where students learn the joy of growing, preparing and baking a nutritious and delicious meal with their own hands and hearts. Based on a design approved by the California Division of State Architects, our oven is a simple and safe way for students to learn by doing in a teacher-supervised project-based lesson. The oven will be used to teach baking, fire safety, natural building, math, science and the joy of cooking and dining together.
Our mission is to provide students an opportunity to learn how to grow, harvest and prepare food in a way that honors the land, their communities and their bodies. We seek to inspire students to take their eating habits into their own hands and demand whole foods and regenerative farming practices. The oven is based on traditional building techniques used by past generations who lived close to the land, creating all that they needed in harmony with nature.
We are builders, artists, health practitioners, designers, gardeners and activists working to empower students to choose healthy foods, eat well and thrive. Please join us in bringing joyful baking to the lives of California students. The first step is to help us build an oven. See Workshops.
