Oregon State horticulture student Milo Tisdale is supporting the local community while caring for the Food Forest.

The Food Forest, established in 2015, is situated beside Callahan Hall on the Corvallis campus and features fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Visitors can find a diverse array of plants and trees, including squash, zucchini, grapes, corn, tomatoes, strawberries, sweet potatoes, melons, and figs.

The Food Forest is a partnership of University Housing & Dining Service, Crop and Soil Science, and Horticulture. In addition to providing herbs and greens to the UHDS restaurant Five Four One, the garden is open to community members who can pick fruit and vegetables for their personal use.

Last year, Tisdale estimates that the Food Forest gave about 500 pounds of food to the Basic Need Center between April and September. He hopes to increase donations to 1,000 pounds in the coming year.
