Meet the 2016-17 Localvores!

Kelli

My name is Kelli, I am in the 8th grade and this is my second year in the Localvore Program.


I like being in the Localvore Program because I can learn how to cook new things and it is also fun to cook with all of my friends. Some of the things that we do are: we look up recipes, we calculate the recipes to see how much ingredients we need to buy, and we also go to the hoop house to get fresh, nutritious and very local ingredients for our recipes. One time we had so much lettuce that we fed the whole school.


We also have Localvore meetings. In our Localvore meetings, we sit around a table and we talk about our future lunches, our profits, and how we can improve. We also plan our recipes for what is in season.  We also create nutrition presentations so the adults can learn the benefits of what they are eating.


I would like to see teachers make there own food and have us try it, I think they would enjoy they way we cook with local foods. We could choose a winner and feature what they made in one of our upcoming menus.















When I get to work with money I think it goes well with me because I love to be like my mom, counting money and checking off people that are on my list.


Mari

My name is Mari Wilson.  I am in 8th grade, and this is my second year in the Localvore Club.

This year we have a hoop house.

I think the hoop house is wonderful and beautiful. I want one in my backyard.  I love how I can go out and get green peppers for our soup.

One of my favorite things to do in the Localvore club is making the menu signs to advertise the next month’s menu.

Being in the Localvore Club is wonderful because I like to dress up on lunch days. Last lunch I was Princess Kale and Mrs. Bryant was Queen Corn!

We were getting flowers for Localvore and we sold them to teachers.












Turner


My name is Turner, I am a 7th grader and this is my
First year in the Locavore Program.

This program makes me feel good about myself.
And am always happy to see the whole class every day.
I would like to see us grow bigger and bigger
every day for the whole year.

My favorite thing I did this year was picking lettuce. Because it was fun and that was when I was happy the most. But I would be happy anyways.


Jordan


My name is Jordan. I am in the 7th grade and this is my first year in the Localvore program.

That was way back in the first week of school when I still had my leg in a brace. We get to cook meals for the teachers. We grow our own vegetables in the Hoop House.



My classmates used to call me “tractor.” It was hard work for Ms. S. We were harvesting lettuce. We had fun in the Hoop House. We grow lots of vegetables other than lettuce too!

Jordan

I am in 7th grade and this is my first year in the Localvore program. I feel good in this program. We look up recipes and we see how  much  do we make in order to serve all of the teachers.
 
This is me peeling carrots it was fun and it was for the carrot salad.

I look forward to growing enough food for the whole school. They would eat it for lunch inside. I love being in the hoop house.

Isaac

I like being in the Localvore club because I like cooking.  I like growing  the  food and  eating  it too!  It  is fun learning about how to grow plants. Because I live on  a farm it is really cool working in a garden at school too! We have a hydroponics garden in class and I like to help with the water. I have a lot of friends in Localvore!


This is a picture of me grinding corn with Dylon.
