              Fab Food Lab


Welcome to the Fab Food Lab project. This project is sponsored by Verizon through its Verizon Community Institution COVID-19 Funding Response. This grant opportunity was made available to all schools participating in the Verizon Innovative Learning STEM program. Since 2018, ICC/Fab Lab ICC have participated in Rural Young Women's program for underserved middle school girls.

With this program, we hope to address several issues within our region related to food insecurity. The program is dynamic and evolving, but preliminary plans are to offer a variety of food education and access opportunities for our community and surrounding area, including education on food growing, cooking, preservation and nutrition; an off-season farmers market; a farm-to-consumer trade show; community food prep space; support for food- and farm-based entrepreneurs and more.
