Because of Vermont’s Act 250, Mount Anthony Union Middle School has been tied to agriculture even before its doors opened a decade ago.
MAUMS was in desperate need to relocate its 600 students and the only land available for a new school was on a farm. In order to use farmland for the school, MAUMS agreed to include agriculture in the school’s curriculum and recycle and compost 80 percent of its outflow.
And because of two people and the support they have developed throughout the school and the community over the past several years, MAUMS is a leader in building the connection between agriculture and education for children.
