Chefs & Farmers

Working with farmers and chefs helps students see links between food and people, and the natural and built environment. There are many ways that this happens. Students visit farms on field trips. Farmers bring seasonal foods like watermelons, citrus, and honey for special events. Students cook with chefs at culinary events like Iron Chef and Market-to-Table. Some chefs and farmers have known children from kindergarten to middle school, and have served as lasting role models for our students.

We want to give special thanks to those who have repeatedly shared their passion, expertise, and time with students over the years:
