I do not have a favorite moment per se, but I have really enjoyed developing relationships with the kids and look forward to spending time with them every week!

What is the most interesting fruit and/or vegetable you’ve tried this year?

A persimmon! I had never even heard of it before this program.

What do you plan to do with the skills you’ve gained at Food Literacy Center this year (what’s next)?
