Farm to Market Highlights

I just wanted to say Thank You to our Salem-Keizer School District Meal Program--Sodexo for bringing us the Farm to Market!  Last week we had AMAZING morning filled with lots of information about eating healthier foods and what we could add to our meals to get more fruits and vegetables into the mix of things.

We got to meet a real Dairy Princess all the way from Tillamook, OR who gave us lots of great information about all the different kinds of cows and what great things they give us.  Thank you Dairy Princesses! You were great!!

The Department of Agriculture was also there and we learned that our very own counties of Polk and Marion produce the most amount of fruits and vegetables within the entire state of Oregon!  We even got to make our very own "bean" necklaces that we were able to take home and watch grow into something!  

Is your bean growing starting to grow sprouts??  See if yours can grow big and strong! 

  We had a great morning and we finished off with a great FREE lunch that had fruits for EVERY letter of the alphabet...that was a LOT of fruit!!! Thanks again Sodexo!!
