New cob oven in school garden

The Orcas public school now has a cob pizza oven thanks to F.E.A.S.T., Food Masters and lots of help from teachers, students, and community members. All of the elementary students and many high school students were able to help with some part of building the oven.

“I’ve been looking forward to this project all year and I couldn’t be happier with how it all came together,” says Learner Limbach, director of Food Masters and F.E.A.S.T.

The two organizations will be hosting a Fall Harvest Fundraising Dinner at the Oddfellows Hall on Sept. 30. Doors open at 5 p.m. for a social hour and silent auction, followed by a short film about F.E.A.S.T. and an island grown dinner. One of the live auction items is a custom cob oven like the one built at the school. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for kids at the Funhouse Commons.
