What We Do

We are a non-profit, charitable organization that works with educators to bring local agriculture to BC's students. Together with farmers, teachers, and agriculture specialists, we teach students about the story of our food in British Columbia.

Our Story

Featured Program & Resource

The Pencil Patch

BCAITC established the Pencil Patch — A Garden for Learning as an outdoor education area for schools thinking about starting their own gardens. In early spring, our working research garden welcomes classrooms for hands-on planting and harvesting sessions and a curriculum-based learning tour of the garden and ecosystem around it.
