We are so proud of our brave & adventurous little eaters! These kiddos tried #local ’s from @alcantar_organics with the option to add a little basil, balsamic and freshly cracked salt & pepper (grinding your own is super fun!) & juicy pluots from @galpinfamilyfarms, we loved discovering why they are called a stone fruit Who else is savoring these warm days with juicy produce!? . . . #edibleeducation #farmtoschool #tastetest #pluot #tomatoes #summerproduce #farmtoplate #localproduce #farmtocafeteria #healthyschoolfood #kidscookingclass #kidscooking #santabarbara #supportlocalagriculture #plantpowered #eattherainbow @ Santa Barbara Unified School District
