The Initiative for Rural Innovation and Stewardship works with the community to teach development for sustainable rural communities and natural resources-based economies by implementing projects across North Central Washington. One project they have done is Classroom in Bloom which is a one-half acre farm on a shared campus for the Methow Valley. Initiative for Rural Innovation and Stewardship has three programs that they take part in, Regional Food Systems, Nature of Place in North Central Washington, and Healthy Lands. These programs help the community though education, promote biodiversity in the ecosystem, and produce and promote exchange of food in North Central Washington.
