Culinary Arts: Farm-to-Table Restaurants for the Day
Project Summary:*
Please provide us with a brief summary of your project.
For the project, students help plant and maintain vegetable and herb gardens in our outdoor space. Students
harvest the food they grow and use it in the dishes they make in the restaurants they create throughout the
year. Students use a variety of skills to develop a menu, a logo and a plan of how they will work together in
teams to bring their restaurants to life. On the day students “open” their restaurants they prepare and serve
3 dishes: a side, a main dish and a dessert. They serve their dishes using the food they have grown in addition
to organic ingredients that we learn about and study in class. Throughout the year, we invite guest speakers
who work in the Farm-to-Table food space to come to our classes and to share their expertise with our
students.
This project will bring opportunities to students who would not otherwise have the ability to experience a
Farm-to-Table Culinary Arts program. We will document the progress of our students' growth and
participation in the restaurants they create by posting photos and video clips on our school website, and
social media. Grant funds for the project will be used to purchase commercial grade, restaurant style
equipment such as high-powered blenders for students to use. In addition, if possible, funds will be used to
take students on a field trip to a working Farm-to-Table operation in our area.
Project Start Date:*
Please note that project start date must be on or after September 3, 2024.

PProject Details:
Please provide additional details for the project such as additional dates, times and location(s) for all project
events for marketing, communications and/or possible future site visits.
Our students will “open” their first Farm-to-Table Restaurant in the Fall of 2024. It will focus on breakfast
items and will allow students to develop the artistry of plating food as well as learning how to work in teams
efficiently. Next students will open a lunch Bistro restaurant where they will continue to build their skills.
Finally, students will “open” an Italian restaurant where they can showcase the skills they have developed,
with an emphasis on food preparation and presentation. In between the restaurant launches students will
participate in food labs to help prepare them to work in their restaurants effectively and they will learn about
how food is farmed and why it matters.

State Standards Support
How does your arts education project support the California State Content Standards for the Arts? Please refer to
the California State Board of Education website for reference.
Creating a Visual culinary creation, performed through the art of cooking, creating food combinations and
connecting with others through food and the gift of food.
State Standards Support:
Creating—Anchor Standard 2: Organize and Develop Artistic Culinary creations, Ideas and Work The anchor
standard is most closely achieved in the collaboration between the Culinary Teacher and student. Continuous
input is encouraged during the culinary process.
Creating—Anchor Standard 3: Refine and Complete Artistic Work
Education, preparation, research plus planning and working with other students at different skill levels
provides for a collaboration of a group creation as well as growth with individual skills in a real time
environment.
Performing—Anchor Standard 5: Develop and Refine Artistic Techniques and Work for Presentation Creating
a full-scale meal, especially at the professional level that has become custom at LCC, provides students with
professional and college-level training for many professional creative industries, most notably restaurants,
cafes and life.
California Arts Standards Artistic Processes and Anchor Standards (NCCAS 2014, 13) This project hits each
artistic process for the California State Content Standards and almost every Anchor Standard within them.

Previous Project Success:
If your organization has completed a similar project, please provide details of the project and why it was
successful.
In previous years, we have invited specialty chefs for the students and their presence was a huge success!
The Chefs inspired creativity and shared knowledge to students interested in pursuing a culinary career.
With an award from Carlsbad Arts Grants department, we plan to continue to bring in additional Chefs.
Project Distinction:
What makes this project distinctive?
This project fulfills the goal of Career Technical Education to teach, inspire, and prepare students in the
Culinary field. Students may find themselves working in the industry during this current school year (part
time restaurant work) or post high school graduation. In addition, this project encourages teamwork,
communication, creativity and collaboration, skills our students will need to be successful in whatever future
endeavors they choose to pursue. Farm-to-Table concepts in food and cooking is a growing trend that is here
to stay. The Farm-to-Table Restaurants for the Day project at La Costa Canyon High School distinguishes itself
from the traditional ways Culinary Arts programs have been taught in high schools in the past, and offers
students a new and exciting perspective on the craft, skill and artistry of preparing and serving amazing food.
Project Goals:
What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals?
Beth Crowder La Costa Canyon High School Foundation, Inc
Printed On: 21 March 2024
Fiscal Year 2024-25: Educational Institutions or
Affiliated Groups 7
To teach/reinforce culinary concepts to students. To teach students to create nutritious and creative menu
items. To teach students to plan and follow a food production schedule, to work effectively in teams and to
learn how to time and prioritize tasks when cooking. These goals will be measured by their performance and
success in both practice labs and their restaurants for the day. Students will be trained and allowed to
practice these goals and then they will be assessed on specific learning goals when they “open” their
restaurants throughout the course.
TTarget Population:
Who is your target population and why? How will you reach them?
Our target population are the students, families and Culinary Arts students on the campus of La Costa Canyon
High School in south Carlsbad. This grant would serve students, their families and the surrounding Carlsbad
community. We will reach them by advertising our free community events, middle school night, advertising
through school communications and school websites. We do outreach to our surrounding community
throughout the year. At La Costa Canyon High School, our commitment to academic excellence has resulted in
being recognized as a California Distinguished School as well as National Blue Ribbon School. La Costa
Canyon High School is dedicated to providing each student a well-rounded education through exposure to all
subject areas. La Costa Canyon also provides a comprehensive interscholastic athletics program with 26
different varsity level sports, earning numerous League, CIF, and Open Division Titles. In addition, students
can participate in nationally recognized programs to include speech and debate, theatrical/performing arts,
and the only marching band in the district, The Maverick Brigade.
Our program is part of this comprehensive approach targeting the students in our Culinary program, special
education program, and community.
Project Partnerships:
If applicable, please provide names and brief descriptions of roles for any partners in this project. This would
include any organizations, artists or individuals involved in your project that are not employed or affiliated with the
applying organization.
We have developed relationships with Chefs from La Costa Glen and Urban Plates in recent past and are
continuing to make connections in the local culinary field.
Partner Resumes:
If applicable, you may upload any resumes of teaching artists, artists or any other partners in the proposed project

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on
your organization?
As was highlighted in prior year applications, COVID created many challenges as it did for the broader
community. Many of our programs including our Culinary program lost momentum and participation. The
good news is that we have made steady progress re-building programs over the last couple of years and a
large part of that has been community support such as the Carlsbad community arts grant program.
