Spence Farm Foundation, Bluestem Bank, and Prairie Central High School worked together to create the Community Potato Project. Prairie Central High School shared a location for planting and organized volunteers to help plant potatoes, Bluestem Bank sponsored the project and provided snacks; and, Spence Farm Foundation assisted with program logistics. Thank you to Bob Walter, SFF Board President, for his oversight on the project, Denise Kinzer of Bluestem Bank, for her work towards sponsorship, and Daren Ropp, Prairie Central Ag. Instructor for his assistance to create the garden and encouragement to students. A huge thank you to all of the students and community members who helped create a garden that will produce some great tasting potatoes for the area food pantries. All potatoes harvested will be donated to area food pantries.
