The Magnolia Agriscience Community Center (MACC) Farm at Magnolia High School celebrated the first-ever Freight Farm at a K-12 school in Southern California!

This 40-foot shipping container grows lettuce hydroponically, giving our students hands-on experience with agricultural technology that shapes the future of farming; it's a living classroom where students learn about sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, and the importance of regenerative farming.

By integrating this farm into our school campus, we’re fostering a deeper connection between students and nature while addressing food security in an urban setting.

A special thank you to Orange County Supervisor Doug Chaffee for his generous financial support, the AUHSD Board of Trustees, and AUHSD Business Services for overseeing the construction with dedication.

Together, we’re cultivating change—one seed, one student, and one meal at a time.
