CalFresh Healthy Living UCCE San Mateo/San Francisco had an exciting summer full of nutrition, physical activity, and gardening education across the counties. CFHL UCCE spent time teaching youth at Early Childhood Education centers how to Go, Glow, and Grow with the foods they eat.
The Ranchs Maintenance and Grounds crew Augie Aguilar and Bruno Acosta have been keeping the facilities running as usual and recently installed a quarantine stall while we continue our search for a Suffolk ram to sire the next generation of lambs at the ranch.
In late September, Elkus Ranch received a wonderful donation! A family of three miniature donkeys were generously gifted and include; Romeo (dad - brown and white), Midnight (mom - smallest, dark brown), and Coco (daughter - light brown) who have all settled in nicely.
BOLD (Breathe, Organize, Leverage, Deliver) Workshop We are proud to acknowledge and celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our BOLD teen leaders, Elena, Sophia, Fynn, and Veronica, who led an outstanding workshop on November 17th.
The 4-H State Leadership Conference was held at UC Davis July 18-21. The mission of the conference is to give youth the tools to create change in their own communities.
