Taste Testing in Tunbridge

Tunbridge Central School students have participated in two farm-to-school taste tests this spring, and have one more to go before the end of the school year. Right before April vacation they tried homemade salsa with Long Wind Farm tomatoes on Castleton Crackers, and last Thursday tried Stonyfield Organic Vanilla Greek Yogurt. Both tests were very positive with 71% of those surveyed liking the salsa, and 84% liking the yogurt. We hope to have both items on the local foods lunch menu on Thursday, May 28th, which will be our school-wide “Garden Day”. – Jen Thygesen, Farm to School Coordinator, Tunbridge Central School, Tunbridge, VT
