Young Farmers
The Young Farmer’s Project is run every year at Oliver Elementary. With the sponsorship of Hester Creek
Winery, we have been able to support our students as they learn about what it takes to grow and sell their own food. Hester Creek has been a generous donor to Oliver Elementary since 2011 and we are very thankful for their continued support.
Mission: To allow students from Kindergarten-Grade 6 to have the opportunity to experience the process of
planting, maintaining, harvesting, and selling local food, grown in their own gardens.
