Tumwater F.R.E.S.H.

Tumwater F.R.E.S.H (Farm Rooted Education for Sustainability and Health)
Tumwater F.R.E.S.H is a GRuB-inspired program for youth to gain high school credits, job skills, and people skills while working on a small farm at Isabella Bush Park, 1436 Linwood Avenue in Tumwater. The program is a partnership between the City of Tumwater, Tumwater School District, and GRuB in Olympia.
The purpose of the program is to empower youth in taking control of their lives and being good citizens, while creating opportunities for personal growth and building sustainable systems of food production. The food we grow will go to school cafeterias, students and families in need, food banks, and senior centers.
During the school year, students enrolled in the program will spend afternoons on the farm or in a classroom at Tumwater High School learning agriculture, civics, and science. FRESH is designed to be hands-on, interactive, inspiring and focused on youth leadership, community service and action, and, of course, food and farming.
