High School teachers and students will learn the arts of growing food in our climate, with expert instructors from CRMPI, and there will be many classes for the community, so we can all learn to grow our own food year-round, successfully. This facility will help set a foundation of knowledge for an emerging local food economy, and an age of local artisan foods.
Will you help us to build this wonderful Agricultural Classroom? We are seeking to raise funds through a fundraising dinner in early July, a screening of the films "Food, Inc.", and "FRESH" in late July, as well as ongoing grant applications. You can easily donate online on the Fat City Farms website. All donations are tax-deductible.
We have School Board and Neighborhood approvals, and we are progressing with the design, which can be followed on the RFHS Gardens Blog as the CRMPI Permaculture Design Course designs the garden and greenhouse planting systems. All we need is the community enthusiasm and support only YOU can provide! Please join us!
