Trout to Tray – Livingston, Montana school program raises rainbows — trout and chard

On an inconspicuous side of Park High School in Livingston, Montana I walk through the door of the school’s Plant Growth Center to find a lush scene of gorgeous greens, herbs, plant starts, a fruiting fig tree… and a tank full of fish.

Soon students file into the school’s Plant Growth Center to harvest their first fish from their Trout to Tray project. Most of the fish in this aquaponics system serve a dual purpose — to provide nutrients to the plants in the greenhouse and to become a source of food themselves.

Trout to Tray is part of the growing Livingston Farm to School program that aims to bring together delicious, healthy, sustainable school meals with hands-on learning opportunities in school gardens and classrooms.
