Farm to Table 

KSSWCD participated in the 2025 Farm to Table event hosted at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. This event is an interactive field trip for local 5th graders to learn about agriculture and the origins of their food. The District spent 4 days teaching students about regenerative agriculutre and sustainable soil health practices, in partnership with the Lazy JM Ranch. Yay soil health!!
