Phase one of the new education program for schools is under way. From Dirt to Dinner is meant to be an educational process that teaches children the value of understanding where their food comes from (and that doesn't just have to be the farm), what is dirt and how to keep it healthy, the process of planting (we provide seeds) and following the process through to planting, preparing, and eating what is grown. The book will contain the coursework, and includes a section on nutrition and some kid friendly recipes. We also hope to work with the schools to get their lunchrooms to purchase locally produced ingredients and incorporate healthy but delicious menus for their students. I know, it is ambitious, but we believe in the cause. Here is the book cover and design we will use for the marketing pieces. We are looking for sponsors of the project now.
The website is www.dirttodinner.com, and will be up soon.
