Organic Seed to Plate Program Flourishes at Maharishi School
/ in Iowa private school organic food, Iowa boarding school organic food, Iowa private school organic garden program, News / by Maharishi SchoolStudents at Maharishi School enjoy lessons in organic gardening and food preparation once a week. This week the fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade girls made creative appetizers with instructor Karen DeAngelis in our commercial kitchen. Each group was given four different ingredients to incorporate and plate in their own unique offering. We were impressed by the delicious and visually appealing treats!
In addition, our first, second, and third-grade students made soup from potatoes they dug up from the garden the week before. It's like a treasure hunt for the kids, using a spade or pitchfork to turn the soil and discover the delicious tubers that they planted as seed potatoes last spring!
