​Farm to Table to Tummy

5/2/2017

0 Comments

 
After months of tending and waiting, it was finally harvest day for Long Beach 2nd graders.  To support their social studies curriculum, we’ve been cultivating a true farm-to-table meal in the garden.  Along the way we covered concepts like food miles, seasons, distribution chains, and how food ultimately gets to the grocery store.  Last week we finally created our shelf-ready salads that mimic what students would see in the store, complete with nutrition labels and dressing packets.  It was a tasty and fun way to experience fresh produce and the students clearly enjoyed tasting their hard work!
