Having fun at camp is a must, but at The Taylor Family Foundation (TTFF), we know that to keep energy levels up we need to fuel our campers with healthy and delicious food. While we have always put careful thought into menu preparation for each of our camper groups, in 2018, we took that a step further with help from a grant from Wells Fargo. With so many of our kiddos dealing with compromised immune systems and/or special dietary needs, we launched Project Organic Produce (POP) and began transitioning to an organic fresh produce kitchen.
With the goal of ensuring children consume fewer toxins and pesticide residue and benefit from increased nutrients while here at camp, we are excited by the success we have experienced so far. We’ve been able to utilize our existing relationships within the local agricultural community to create a clean and healthy foundation for adventure, carefree fun and friendship one organic fruit and veggie at a time. We’re happy to support farmers by purchasing locally grown organic fruits and vegetables when available and to give back to the local community that has been so generous to us for decades.
