We recently enjoyed a visit from Bill Jensen who works at Northside Elementary School in Cool California (a bit east of Auburn). He came to pick up vegetables for the Harvest of the Month program, a statewide effort to increase access to fruits and vegetables in schools throughout California. Bill explained that the school’s garden doesn’t come into production until March and he needed some broccoli to serve. The students will develop presentations for the classroom and prepare a recipe to take home.
In Bill’s photo, kindergarten students are harvesting their first crop of carrots.
