Hats off to
The Ecology Center
partnered with
Orange County Community Foundation (OCCF)
to redesign its Farm Stand. The Ecology Center is a local ecological model and resource for residents of Orange County who seek sustainable living and locally grown produce. Its Farm Stand plays a vital role in its plan to develop a 28-acre community farm that’s meant to be a resource for future farmers, chefs and educators all while displaying and maintaining a sustainable lifestyle.
Thanks to OCCF, the center can remodel the Farm Stand’s infrastructure and incorporate different types of goods and products to enhance customer service.
