Jose Alcantar of Alcantar Organics is our Farmer of the Month for October! The VC School Food Hub is working with Farm Cart Organics to bring local fruits and vegetables to over 50 schools in our community.

We are so happy to have CSU Channel Islands interns this year! Jisell and Cassandra have been a huge help with all of our programs, both in the office and in the schools. Thank you @ci_serves for coordinating a wonderful internship program!

October was National Farm to School Month, and we celebrated with over 500 students and teachers in Camarillo, Oxnard and Santa Paula by making apple cider with Cuyama orchard apples!

How to use your school garden as an outdoor classroom! All the tips and strategies will be shared at our next School Garden Educators meeting- Nov. 29 at Rio Real school garden in Oxnard. RSVP at the link in our bio and bring a friend!

THANK YOU to the Espinoza Farm crew for helping to clean up and sheet mulch the Rio Mesa garden!
