Farm to School at THE Farm
May 4, 2008
THE Farm
Atoka County
Vicki and Joe Townsend hosted this field day at THE Farm in Atoka County.
This event focused on season extension techniques. These are important
for farm-to-school in Oklahoma, because they allow farmers to ripen crops
earlier in the spring, and later in the fall, when school cafeterias
are serving meals.
THE Farm
grows a variety of produce, specializing in certified organic onions
and green chile peppers. They sell both on-farm and through a weekly
ordering arrangement, emailing a list of available items to local customers
who place orders for next day delivery. They plan to start marketing
to a local school in the spring of 2008.
