Farm Sites

Rogue Valley Farm to School has arrangements with three local farms that serve as educational farm sties. Each site is a working farm that opens its gates for local students to experience hands on farm education. Farm sites are located in Ashland, Medford, and Talent to allow easy access for the school districts in each region. Each farm site has outdoor kitchen facilities for harvest meals.

Farm sites in other communities are being initiated for future program offerings.
