Farm to School Field Trip at Lucky Crow Farm

In 2020, OSU Extension Service Marion County 4-H and SNAP-Ed programs received an Oregon Department of Education Farm-to-School education grant. As part of the grant, students were supposed to tour a local Marion County farm to learn how their food grows, where it comes from, and experience the farm first-hand. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Marion County Farm to School team instead brought the farm to the students and local community!

Join Malillany, a student attending Salem Keizer School District, and Sarah Contreras, an OSU Farm to School Education Program Assistant, on our visit to Lucky Crow Farm in Monmouth to meet with Farmer Eden.
