With the snow coming down and school closing at least once a week due to stormy weather, it's hard to believe that anything is growing around these parts. Well, it's amazing but true – vegetables are still growing in our neighboring farms. At least they are at Madura Farms in Middletown, NY.
Last Saturday, I went to the Cold Spring Farmers Market and picked up 15 pounds of fresh carrots from Madura farms. I delivered them on Monday to Cindy Miozzi, our food service director. This month, we did not have the budget to pay for a Chef in the Classroom event, but Cindy wanted to continue the Farmer's Choice monthly program regardless. So this month it will be "Cindy's Choice." And she chose to make yummy "Glazed Carrots."
So... tomorrow, hoping that there will be school, the lunch in the cafeteria will include fresh local carrots with butter, honey and brown sugar. Sounds yummy, right? Please ask your kids to buy lunch tomorrow and continue to support this great program.
