Student Run Businesses

We are a student-led business focused on offering an immersive, authentic fine dining experience. Hosted in our very own Greenhouse, we not only offer a delicious multi-course menu, but a truly unforgettable experience. With the finest ingredients, we ensure that our dishes are of the highest caliber, rivaling even professional restaurants.  - Benjamin Sandefur '23

Summertime fresh tomatoes in the middle of winter? As part of the farm-to-school cycle, the greenhouse and organic garden function as production areas where students grow a variety of crops including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, potatoes, basil, beans, peas, lettuce, assorted greens, and berries that they ultimately market and sell. Eagle Farms produce, harvested just feet from where it's grown, is the centerpiece.  The Eagle Farms Marketplace offerings are augmented by products from the school’s Teaching Kitchen and items from partnerships with local farms also rooted in sustainable practices. 

Along with a physical recurring marketplace located in a classroom behind the greenhouse, students have launched an innovative approach to the digital grocery shopping experience by operating an online store that grossed $5,000 in sales year one.

Located in the back of the greenhouse, CHCA Eagle Farms Marketplace operates weekly to provide customers with fresh, locally grown produce and assorted products. What makes this marketplace concept unique is that it is offers “same day harvest” so that customers are ensured the freshest possible products from Eagle Farms. 

Eagle Farms Marketplace is the pick-up location for eCommerce customers ordering through the Eagle Farms Website. With operating hours throughout the week (and a dedicated parking spot for pick up in the high school parking lot), the marketplace is a convenient way to avoid the hassle of the grocery store and support local food. With the end goal of creating a one-stop shopping experience, we are constantly expanding our offerings from Marketplace partners including Deeper Roots Coffee, Hartzler Dairy, Keever Creek Farms, and more.
