51ΑΤΖζβs (51ΑΤΖζ) Farm to Fork event and Communications and Marketing team were recognized with a national award in March from the (NCMPR). The College received a silver Paragon Award in the Special Event category.
Farm to Fork, spearheaded by Andrea Schumaker, Department Chair of Agriculture Sciences, is a terrific example of 51ΑΤΖζ continuing to thrive during the pandemic. Instead of participants joining friends and family at the College to enjoy the meal featuring produce grown in the Campus Garden, 2020 participants picked up their boxes of fresh food to prepare the meal in the comfort of their homes.
51ΑΤΖζβs Communications and Marketing team developed a wide range of content to support the event, including how-to videos assisting participants as they prepared the meal, a webpage, multiple social media posts, a β one of the local sponsors, and an interactive text messaging option to navigate the how-to videos for each course of the meal.
βFarm to Fork is such a fun event to plan and coordinate,β said Schumaker. βSupporting local farms and businesses while hosting a delicious meal to support and sustain the garden is the icing on the cake! It is impressive to see 51ΑΤΖζβs Communication and Marketing team celebrated for their hard work on the event! It truly is a labor of love and the event couldnβt happen without the hard work and dedication of those at 51ΑΤΖζ as well as the Treasure Valley!β
