Haldane Elementary School to Partner with the Culinary Institute of America

This year, Haldane's Farm to School program will be partnering with the Culinary Institute of America and their Slow Food Hudson Valley chapter on campus. 

Each month, two young, enthusiastic chef interns will come to Haldane and teach a cooking class to the elementary classes K-5. The student chefs will work with Haldane students creating dishes with seasonal, locally-sourced vegetables and teach them about where their food comes from and how it gets on their plate. 

These dishes will then be served in the cafeteria to all students as a monthly veggie taste test. Their first dish will feature local butternut squash. Stay tuned to find out more...
