Betty Komp (far right) talk with Gervais High School Principal Mike Solem during a visit to the school Jan. 22 to learn more about its Farm to School program. Under the program, the district works with local farmers to provide produce for student meals. The event included a roundtable discussion, which included representatives from the state agriculture department, Ecotrust and Upstream Public Health.
GERVAIS — Gervais School District was one of the first in the state to get involved in the Farm to School program, through which students have access to local produce in their school meals.
