OSU Student Farm signs memorandum of understanding with Pete’s Pantry
The Oklahoma State University Student Farm signed a memorandum of understanding this summer with Pete’s Pantry on the Stillwater campus.
The memorandum outlines an ongoing partnership between the Student Farm and Pete’s Pantry, specifying that the farm will provide various produce to the pantry based on season and availability. The OSU Student Farm was established in 2023 as a hands-on living classroom for employees and volunteers involved in all aspects of vegetable production, including planting, irrigating, fence-building and harvesting. The site has produced 78,000 pounds of produce to date for residents in the past two years.
The farm’s bounty is harvested and delivered daily to Our Daily Bread Food and Resource Center Stillwater, a food bank serving all of Payne County. Pete’s Pantry has also received produce donations since the farm’s first year of operation. About 24,000 pounds of food have been grown at the student farm in 2024.
