Two male student nurses took around 10 blood pressures and were able to give some tips about how to lower blood pressure at the Fire House Certified Farmers Market in October. They were also able to buy some cheap fresh veggies. This is a cell phone picture of Daniel Ekdahl, taken by fellow student Mike Herman, taking a blood pressure reading in front of the El Medio Fire Station that Thursday.

Markets run year-round on Thursdays - 11 AM to 3 PM - Myers & D Street - Oroville.

We hope to have other health students providing this much appreciated service in Oroville in the near future.

A few of us at GRUB have offered to help get a garden started for the
Jesus center. We will be using some land on the conner of Mulberry and
14th Street. We have all the materials needed expect working hands. If
you and or someone you know would like to help create this garden
space please join us Saturday September 26, 9:00am-11:30.

We will be tilling the land, moving trash, building a fence for vines,
creating raised beds, and more. This is a great time to learn a little
about garden spaces and help our community out.

Please join us for some or all of the time Saturday.

    Our mission is to facilitate, improve and maintain healthy lifestyles by increasing access to fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, and opportunities for physical activities and using the consumer safe food shopping environments created by certified farmers markets to develop grassroots community leadership to maximize human health.

    We work collaboratively with schools & community service organizations to do outreach, research, raise funds, and deliver health services (including WIC and Food Stamp EBT of Certified Farmers Markets) by providing for their public health service integration into the consumer-safe food delivery environments created by farm&garden to table food and information exchange forums such as farmers markets.
