Focus on Hanley Farm – March 2016

Hanley Farm is excited to host the Family Nurturing Center’s “Farm and Food Program” for its fourth consecutive growing season! The Farm and Food Program is an outreach component of the Family Nurturing Center, Jackson County’s Children’s Relief Nursery. Families visit Hanley Farm in order to grow, harvest, prepare and share meals together… experiences that offer empowering, sustainable solutions to food insecurity, and the anxiety this causes many families living in the Rogue Valley.

The Farm and Food Program provides three weekly therapeutic groups where families work together to grow, prepare, and preserve food from the no-till garden—strengthening parent-child relationships.

The Farm and Food Program is currently running a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the new “Mom’s Home Garden,” including an irrigation system, a greenhouse, and a covered outdoor eating and food processing area. For more information and how to contribute to this project, please visit familyfarmandfood.
