The Plow to Plate initiative began with the formation of a community coalition with a broad range of members dedicated to the notion that individual and community well being depends upon a sustainable local and regional food system. Coalition members work together to create and sponsor activities, ongoing programs and individual projects that promote “health” in the broadest sense possible.

 

Middle and high school students are taught about sustainable agriculture, health and culinary skills. The students present the fare they have created at group dinners and teach their families and the community about the benefits of locally grown foods.
