It doesn’t get any more home grown than this.

Kids at PS 216 in Gravesend, Brooklyn, will be joining the farm-to-table food movement at school this year — eating foods grown right in their very own back yard.

The nonprofit group Edible Schoolyard helped the school turn an asphalt playground into a working garden, where 470 kids will plant, harvest and study nearly 50 varieties of fruit and vegetables.

A state-of-the-art kitchen will allow the students to prep, cook, serve — and, most importantly, eat — the food they created with their own hands.
