What We Did in 2018-2019

The 2018-19 school year was a busy one and we're proud to share some highlights of our work with you! Julia Yost, our FoodCorps service members for two years, and Rachel Pettit, our Farm to Schoo Program Manager, shared gardening with 1,000 students a month across six schools and helped provide opportunities for students and their families to learn more about our Tillamook County food system. Click through the slideshow below for a snapshot of our year!
