Student Farm helps bridge gap of food insecurity

A collaborative effort among Oklahoma State University’s Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and Stillwater’s Our Daily Bread Food and Resource Center provides experiential learning opportunities for OSU students and helps address food insecurity in Payne County. The new OSU Student Farm grows fresh produce and donates it to Our Daily Bread. The farm is located on the west side of Stillwater at the former site of the OSU Swine Research and Education Center.Now, with a steady stream of fresh produce, those who visit Our Daily Bread for groceries can usually have two or more bags of produce, including cucumbers, broccoli, lettuces, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, green beans, okra, sweet corn, cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower, spinach, onions and more.Our Daily Bread also helps stock Pete’s Pantry, a food bank available to OSU students, as well as a satellite site at Lincoln Academy, part of Stillwater Public Schools.
