In-Kind Donation Partners:
With students being encouraged to eat their vegetables - it's important they all can have a taste! Fox Farm has been lucky this year to have had a partner in Grocery Outlet of Hillsboro, who have provided us with groceries to feed all children on our cooking lesson days. Their 16 boxes of mushrooms and one pound of butter made for a savory snack in late December. We thank them for their generosity.
In early 2023, Hillsboro Sign Co. graciously donated a banner for Fox Farm. This sign leads the way to the garden and is helping build pride in our school and garden. We thank them for their generosity.
