Harvest Pizza K – 8th

Students will trace the path of pizza from the local farm to our dinner table and the important role of sun, soil, water and air in everything that we eat. Each student will make an individual pizza from scratch and top it with fresh veggies and herbs from the garden. Fall is harvest time and students will also participate in harvesting vegetables, taste testing seasonal foods and visiting the animal yards. In winter, we can visit our greenhouses to harvest some cold weather crops like spinach and other greens!
