From the School Garden to the Lunch Table!
This week, Sugg Middle School Agricultural Education students turned fresh garden harvests into a full-day “Farm to Fork” pickle taste test and it was a HUGE hit!
Students sampled:
🥒 Dill Pickles
🍬 Sweet Pickles
🌶️ Tajin Lime Dill Pickles
The best part? Watching students try fresh homemade pickles for the VERY first time! The laughs, reactions, and smiles filled the classroom all day long.
A special THANK YOU to School District of Manatee County Food and Nutrition Services for supplying extra cucumbers as the garden grows and Mrs. Roxie for teaching Ag students how to make fresh ice box pickles in the café kitchen.
By the end of the day… there were ZERO pickles left.
Watch out, Takis — fresh farm produce stole the show today!
