Pasture to Pantry

Location - MCPS Ag Center

The Missoula FFA Chapter will purchase two breed ewes, at $500 per animal, from a local breeder in December 2026. Members will care for the animals and supervise the lambing process. Members will be responsible for ensuring a proper living environment and nutrition for the ewes and their lambs. Once the lambs have reached weight (August/September 2027) the Missoula FFA Chapter will pay $135 for each animal to be processed at School House Meat and then donate the meat to the Missoula Community Food Bank. The goal is to donate approximately 120lbs of lamb. This assumes that the ewes have two lambs. If more than two lambs are born this amount will be higher. The pasture to pantry project will provide high-quality, locally raised protein to people in need and increase our community's food security.
