North Powder Farm To School

North Powder Farm to School is located in Eastern Oregon. We coordinate Farm to School activities such as tastings and cafeteria meals using Oregon Harvest of the Month ingredients. In addition, a FoodCorps service member teaches students nutrition, cooking, and garden-based science and math activities We have successfully had a 1000 square foot garden for 3 years and have used the produce in our school cafeteria and donated some to a local food bank. We have challenging weather conditions with a short growing season of 90 days, but have had success! We tie in using as much local produce as we can sources, and work with local farmers when at all possible. In 2016 we look forward to revamping the garden layout with a mix of rows and raised beds, and a new hoop house. Fresh is the best!
