Hamburg Three Dips are Better than One! Middle School Students Get on the Veggie Wagon

We visited a 6th grade class at Hamburg Middle School today -- wow -- were the students engaged and responsive in the healthy food conversation. We were invited in by their teacher to conduct a fun classroom tasting -- fresh made in the classroom white bean dip. The white bean dip along with Organic Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and some ready-made from Wegmans Pico de Gallo Guacamole were served with a fresh assortment of veggies and Organic Blue Corn Chips. Three dips are better than one....Even their Principal joined in the delicious learning.

The Great Veggie Adventure is Growing Strong

Take a look at the seedlings for the Great Veggie Adventure to be transplanted soon into The Giving Garden of Union Pleasant Elementary School in Hamburg, New York. These veggie plants were sown in our basements and have sprung to life under artificial grow lights. They have now been transplanted from the flats into pots and have a fan blowing on them mimicking wind like they will encounter in the outdoors. The idea is to make them stronger and help them get used to the variable conditions in the outside garden. Soon the school children will be getting their hands in the earth and moving the party to the raised garden beds in The Giving Garden.
