How do YOU like your potatoes? Baked...Boiled...French Fried...Oven Roasted...Mashed? The possibilities are many for this versatile vegetable. Laraway kids and staff harvested twenty-five pounds of potatoes grown in our kitchen garden.
"Our kids get so excited when they hear that an item served in our cafeteria is from our garden," says Lisa Rock, Laraway's Food Coordinator. "It's great for us to be able to use produce grown here in the breakfasts and lunches we make for kids."
Getting kids excited about growing, tending and harvesting vegetables is one piece of the important work we do to help children and youth develop a strong, centering sense of place.
And what will Lisa do with those potatoes? They are scheduled to make an appearance very soon at breakfast as yummy hash browns!
