Hey, OJA! It’s been a while since we’ve checked in with our favorite middle schoolers across the street , but we’ve been back at it this semester with healthy snacks on the menu! Watching these kids’ confidence and competence develop over the years is a blast, and so is seeing them taste their creations. Every Friday, we get to surprise their taste buds and their assumptions about using healthy ingredients in classic recipes.

Today, we heralded in the start of Soup Season with a flight of three different soups—Butternut Squash, White Bean, and Veggie!

Biodiversity in the garden is a topic we could go on and on about. One of EEE's core values is that diversity builds resilience, and we can witness that in any healthy ecosystem, whether out in nature or in the air conditioned office. How does diversity better your life? What other areas can we look to nature for advice? We'd love to explore these questions together. Our next seed-to-table experiece has your name on it.

The hunt for the perfect carrot...the carrot that all other carrots are based on... Does gardening ever feel like digging for buried treasure to you? We've unearthed gems of all shapes, sizes, colors, and karats (please clap) this carrot season, including some with personality 😳 What are your thoughts on "ugly produce"? Whether or not it ends up on our plate, it's not waste here at Edible Ed! All our ugly carrots get eaten, either by staff and students or by the critters who make our compost. Remember to say hi if you ever pass by EEE's Culinary Garden on King Street!
