Youth, mentors, parents, and staff gathered yesterday for a delicious garden feast!
We used veggies from our garden and supplemented our bounty with produce and meat from local farmers.
Everyone got to decorate her/his own tortilla pizza with such ingredients as: tomatoes, peppers, onions, eggplant, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, carrots, okra, herbs, sausage, and cheese.
We also made veggie pasta salad and baked apples!
The event was a fitting celebration of the end of the summer/beginning of the new school year. It also served to connect seed to table as we shared food we had grown from seed ourselves!
With our abundance of tomatoes, peppers, and okra, families were also able to bring fresh food home.
We hope everyone involved in the garden this season has learned, grown, tasted, and enjoyed during our agricultural acts together. Our efforts are small, but we continue to believe in the power of rippling goodness to bring about positive change.
Keep G.R.OW.ing, harvesting, sharing, and eating!
