Fort Bragg High School

Noyo Food Forest (NFF) is a grassroots organization founded in the fall of 2005 to create lasting, positive change on our rural Northern California coast by developing and maintaining school and community gardens. Our flagship Learning Garden, located at the Fort Bragg High School, is a unique on-site Farm to School program and center for education in organic, community-based agriculture. NFF not only cultivates fresh food, we cultivate healthy minds and habits.

With support from the Whole Kids Foundation, NFF can continue to connect the youth of our community to the true source of their food and train a new generation of local farmers and gardeners how to feed our community. This grant will specifically provide much-needed maintenance and care for the gardens during the labor-intensive summer season, and enable the preparation of the production gardens for a successful 2013-2014 school year.

NFF helps to empower and energize its whole community to seek solutions in simplicity, involvement, and localization. In our educational mission, we increase the awareness of healthy eating choices and the critical global importance of reducing food miles, greenhouse gases, and carbon footprint.

This program is supported by THE NOYO FOOD FOREST.
