Sun beat down on the Cornucopia Project’s high tunnels as well-wishers pulled up a haybale to honor founder Kin Schilling on Saturday afternoon. Schilling, 77, is moving to Colorado next Monday after almost 40 years in Hancock, with her sheep and chickens in tow.
Cornucopia Project Executive Director Lauren Judd and Board of Directors Chair Cathie Sage thanked Schilling for her vision for the organization, which connects local students with growing and cooking healthy food. “Kin” also refers to kindred and family, they noted as they surprised Schilling by announcing they’d named a high tunnel after her. Sage also unveiled the “Kin Schilling Founder’s Fund,” a sustaining fund to support Cornucopia’s educational programs. It had raised $11,500 as of Saturday.
