This year we introduced a new idea to the table and it worked out great! To raise some more money for our farm, we decided to offer to bring produce straight from the farm to teacher's classrooms for the price of just $2. It was a really simple mini project and was really fun to do! Many teachers enjoyed their organic and fresh food whether it was spicy jalapenos or sweet strawberries.
In order to pull of such a task, we spent half of a class harvesting and recording the food that we were soon going to deliver. Then during the second half of class we were off to the classes to deliver and collect our money! The food was presented in a simple brown lunch bag and had a good amount of produce in it. It was really cool to see the teacher's excitement on their faces and how pleased they were to see fresh organic food for just the price of $2. I hope that we can continue this for the following years as it was different then what we usually and everyone gets a benefit out of it!
