Featured Food: Melons from Maranatha Farm
Sept. 16, 2022 / Watermelon grown on a local farm will be served in all KCSD school cafeterias next week. The melons were grown by John and Mary Ann Anderson of Maranatha Farm in Klamath Falls.
Maranatha Farm grew the melons -- 2,625 pounds worth -- specifically for Klamath County School District. Students can expect to enjoy the fresh melons on Thursday. Maranatha Farm cucumbers also will be served in our school cafeteria salad bars next week.
Maranatha Farm is one of several local vendors that work with the district’s Farm to School program. Each month, the district highlights an Oregon-grown Featured Food on school menus as part of that program.
The Andersons have been been raising produce for 40 years, and told the district they love growing healthy foods that people enjoy eating. You can find their delicious produce at the Klamath Falls Farmers’ Market from August through October.
