Farm to School to Community: The Journey

The Conversation

Meet our guest, Trevor Horn. He's not your typical culinary expert. Trevor, currently the Farm Director at the Mid Ohio Food Collective, began his journey working in kitchens for 13 years and earning a degree from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy. In 2018, Trevor took on a new role at Reynoldsburg High School (in Central Ohio), where he created the first Slow Food High School Chapter in the nation. He transformed unused tennis courts into a thriving Urban Farm, and the school's Garden Club evolved into a CTE Agriculture and Food Science Pathway, empowering students to become community food advocates. Trevor's work earned him The Boyd W. Bowden Garden Impact Award in 2019, and he secured a grant for his students to support biodiversity. In 2020, he received the Grow Next Gen Teacher Leader of the Year award for integrating agriculture into an urban school setting. In the summer of 2023, Trevor began serving as the Farm Director for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective.
