School Farm Harvest 🥬

We harvested over 300 pounds of mixed greens from the School Farm this week! The kale, lettuce, and chard were distributed to our high schools, junior high schools, and some elementary schools for their salad bars.

During the break next week, we plan to expand the farm and increase its capacity to grow even more types of food.
