EMFEP's mission is to connect our community to food, the earth, and sustainable farming by providing hands on learning.

About the Eagle Mill Farming Education Project
The Eagle Mill Farming Education Project (EMFEP) is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Ashland, Oregon. We provide "down-to-earth” education for Rogue Valley children through planting, harvesting, and cooking projects. Whether it’s making pumpkin pies with real pumpkins or pasta sauce with fresh-picked tomatoes, EMFEP always emphasizes the practical and aesthetic value of healthy food.

EMFEP was inspired by the fall tours that Ron Roth began in the early 90s when the first classroom came to his 20-acre farm in Ashland to pick pumpkins. Since that time, the tours have expanded to include over 1,000 children from schools and organizations throughout the valley.

In 2000, EMFEP attained 501c3 nonprofit status and began using Ron’s tours as a foundation for a more comprehensive education program. A grant from the Ashland Coop initiated our first projects, and we have since garnered support from individuals and local foundations. EMFEP now has spring, summer, and fall programs.
