Chef in the Garden: Events herald second year of Farm-to-School activities

Transposing “the proof is in the pudding” to a healthier framework, children at Haldane and Garrison School each participated in a local field trip linking locally grown vegetable and dairy products to a delicious meal made from these ingredients.  They themselves gathered and picked the ingredients from the fields and barns in which they were grown, and thereby were able to make a vivid connection between the plants they pulled up from the soil and the serving of food on their plates a mere hour or so later.
