Students from Madison Elementary School participated in a wonderful FarmStand this past month (thank you amazing and dedicated parent volunteers!). Students were shown how to make (and tasted!) .....RADISH smoothies!! Then classes were taken to the produce stand where they chose from a variety of fresh produce:
- Radishes: grown by our very own Olympia High School BearGRuB (thanks guys!)
- Carrots
- Apples
- Dinosaur Kale
- Sugar Snap Peas
The Avanti High School students were the 'farmers,' exchanging produce for wooden tokens (given to Madison students as rewards for sustainable or community-related behaviors). Recipes for radish smoothies were sent home with the students as well.
A great success! Strengthening our community, encouraging healthy eating habits, and promoting sustainable behaviors...one FarmStand at a time!
