The 50 Foot Meal

​Usually the distance our food travels to our table is measures in miles…many, many miles.  Today, 120 fourth graders had a true farm-to-table experience.  The students harvested the rainbow of leafy greens they planted in October, and walked 50 feet across the playground to create their own personal salad.  Fresh picked lettuce is crisp, juicy and delicious.  Most students appreciated the sweet, crunchy romaine and the slightly spicy Russian kale, but the peppery arugula received some mixed reviews.  We enjoyed our salads in the garden, with real cloth napkins and plenty of fun conversation.  Thanks for a great meal kids!
