Farm to School Fundraiser – Thu, Mar 27th
Farm to School increases access and equity in the local food system, offering free and reduced-cost school lunches. It also keeps those procurement dollars circulating in the local food and farm economy, which is a win for food security and food system resilience!
The Community Wellness Project is raising funds to support school gardens and garden education, farm to cafeteria & local procurement, and career and technical education related to the food and farm economy. The funds will be shared among ALL districts in East Jefferson County. This is an open house-style event; drop in and grab some culinary student-prepared snacks and a cup of school garden-grown tea. Time: 5 – 7pm | Location: Haybarn at Finnriver Farm and Cidery, 124 Center Road, Chimacum
