Specialty Crop

Farson-Eden School Principal Barbara Rezzonico, staff, and students grow vegetables and herbs in a hoop house and a greenhouse adjacent to the school and three grow towers in the lobby of the school. Cafeteria manager Jo Weaver harvests and cleans the produce, which is served to students as part of their school lunch.

School staff are assisted in the summer by local 4-H students who help care for plants as part of their 4-H projects.

Little Sandy FFA students utilize the greenhouse to grow (1) produce to supplement the school cafeteria program; and (2) seedling trees and shrubs for landowners of the Farson-Eden area to improve wildlife habitat and bolster conservation efforts.
