Big news from Nettle Middle School! Our journey started with a simple idea—a Food and Clothing Drive to help our community. But something remarkable happened along the way.

Our students became intensely aware of the challenges of providing fresh, healthy food for those in need. Their passion for making a difference inspired a bold solution: a fully functional Closed-Loop Aquaponics and Vertical Farming Greenhouse.

This innovative project is more than just a garden—it’s a sustainable source of fresh produce and protein for our local community. It’s a step toward fighting food insecurity while teaching future generations about environmental stewardship and innovation. 

We’re honored to be named Massachusetts State Finalists and proud of the incredible effort our students and staff have put into this vision. Stay tuned as we continue this exciting journey together!
