Celebrating 20 Years of Growing Together

For 20 years, community support has been at the heart of Noyo Food Forest and the Learning Garden, located on the Fort Bragg High School campus. Our mission continues to grow through hands-on education in regenerative agriculture, paid student internships, our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, and partnerships that bring fresh, locally grown food into Fort Bragg Unified School District cafeterias. We're especially proud to grow food for a school district where 100% of students qualify for free meals, helping connect students with fresh food grown right on their own campus.

As we celebrate this milestone, we're also looking toward the next 20 years. Your support is especially meaningful as we work to sustain and expand our educational programs, student internships, and local food production for years to come.

Every ticket purchased, donation made, and auction paddle raised helps keep the Learning Garden growing. Thank you for being part of our story. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
