Farm to Table
Experiential Learning in Central Oregon
We will utilize nearly half of the 19-acre property for animal grazing, and developing vegetable and flower gardens. We are partnering with local groups and gardening clubs for support and technical assistance. This area will also be an income generator for the organization with the opportunity to sell flowers the children grow and eggs from the chickens they care for. Our youth will be able to witness firsthand where their food comes from, working toward long-term positive health outcomes, pro-social development, and making good choices.
Children and Friends will bring the farm fresh veggies they harvest to our new learning kitchen to prepare and enjoy. Cooking classes and shared meals will develop lifelong healthy habits. Youth will find their spark while building positive relationships and self determination. This space will improve their overall health and well-being, while giving them skills for the future.
