💚 Vermont FEAST Youth Summit:

May 21 in Woodstock

FEAST = Food Education And Sustainable Thinking

The Vermont FEAST Youth Summit is a day of workshops designed by high school students, for high school students. Past workshop topics include microgreens, pollinators, arepa-making, micro-dairies, advocating in the state house, wild foraging, and more. Registration is open for the fourth annual summit at Billings Farm & Museum.

🌾 Three New Recipes

for Using Local Grains

Schools meal programs are working to include more local ingredients, including staples like flour and oats. One hurdle: cafeteria-scale recipes using these ingredients are hard to come by. To help, Windham Southeast Supervisory Union has developed a collection of recipes for incorporating more local grains: pizza dough, breakfast cookies, and granola.

🪴 ‘Mix It Up’

Potting Soil Activity

Make potting soil for your school garden sprouts (or your own backyard garden!). Everyone can get their hands dirty, learn about the role of each component, and create an ideal foundation for growing seedlings.
