The Giving Farm
The Giving Farm at Westminster High School is a farm-to-food bank partnership program, managed by Solutions for Urban Agriculture with the Orange County Food Bank, OC Farm Bureau, & the Westminster High School FFA Agriculture Program.
It currently boasting a network of over 400 local charities, soup kitchens and community organizations. Through the utilization of community volunteers and providing hands-on educational opportunities, it is helping to provide the community with fresh and nutritious fruits, vegetables, and animal proteins raised locally.
The agricultural curriculum at Westminster High school, combined with its active FFA program, is educating students about horticulture, livestock and equipment while putting food on the tables of those who need it most. The eight acres are part of this unique initiative that allows the continuation of hands-on agriculture educational programs while cultivating an average of 200,000 pounds of fresh food annually for families in need.
