Oregon lawmakers expand Farm-to-School Program
By GEORGE PLAVEN
Capital Press
SALEM — Oregon’s
Farm-to-School and School
Garden Network is poised to
expand after state lawmak-
ers approved a bill tripling
the program’s budget.
House Bill 2579 passed
June 29 as Senate Republi-
cans returned to work from
a nine-day walkout in oppo-
sition to a controversial car-
bon pricing scheme known
as cap and trade. The sen-
ators rushed to vote on
numerous bills over two
days in order for the Legis-
lature to adjourn by June 30.
That
included
HB
2579, which cleared both
the House and Senate
unanimously.

gram awards non-competi-
tive grants to school districts

ing them for buying locally
grown and processed food.
Any district can opt in, and
funding is determined based
on the number of meals
served under the National
School Lunch Program —
with a minimum award of
$500 for smaller districts.
Districts can also apply
for separate competitive
grants to fund school gar-
dens and educational activ-
ities, teaching kids about
agriculture.
Rick Sherman, Farm-to-
School and School Garden
coordinator for the Oregon
Department of Education,
said the program started in
2012 with just $200,000.
The current budget is $4.5
million, and now HB 2579
will provide an additional
$10.35 million from the
state general fund through
2021, bringing the total to
nearly $15 million.
