21 22 – the year in a nutshell

We’ve had a busy year this year, distributing over 6000 bags of tasty, fresh produce and recipes to our schools.
Vegetables have included: butternut squash; summer/spring/red/white and savoy cabbage; sweet potato; cauliflower; parsnip; sprouts; leek; swede; celery along with the regular carrots and onions.
Recipes have included soups, curries and traybakes with easy ingredients and being easy to make.
We’ve taken extra produce on a number of occasions, topping up our regular produce with pies, extra veg and one week, even a Sunday roast!
In the Spring, we distributed some vegetable seeds, compost and pots to our schools to encourage children to ‘grow their own’. With research showing that children are five times more likely to eat salad when they have grown it themselves, we want to support our schools in making Springtime, growing time.
We finished this academic year saying ‘goodbye’ to one of our schools in Stoke having reached the end of our three-year term. It felt sad to be moving on, but exciting to be able to take this wonderful project to another school in September.
