Featured Project: The Village Farm

Four students worked with The Village Farm, a cooperative farm in Ashland. The student team toured The Village Farm and learned how it is serving as a model site for sustainable agriculture, practice and education. Since the farm is fairly new, the student team decided to create a testimony board. The team painted a 4 feet by 8 feet plywood board with a farming scene. There are blank spaces on the board where people can explain through testimony why local, organic, and cooperative farming practices are important to them. The board will be housed at the farm, but will also travel to the growers market and to other sites in the Rogue Valley.
