The Dough was Flying in Woodstock! (UVFTS Mini-Grant Showcase Project)

For the 7th year in a row, the Woodstock Union Middle and High School Farm to School groups served up delicious wood-fired pizza from the Nordic Hut at Trek to Taste. We’ve established a wonderful partnership with NOFA-VT in the use of their mobile pizza oven and head baker. This year, we had more volunteers than ever, which was great because we went through half of our dough in the first hour of the event! We served more than 140 pizzas to almost 500 trekkers! Our bakers got really creative with topping combinations to make specialty pies. Some included spinach, arugula, and basil grown by students in the greenhouses at school and from Fable Farm in Barnard, bacon from Green Mountain Smokehouse, sauce from Pizza Chef, apples from Champlain Orchards, maple syrup from the student-run operation at the King Farm, and wonderful cheddar from Plymouth Cheese. A great time was had by all! – Kat Robbins, Place-Based Education Coordinator, Woodstock Union Middle and High School, Woodstock, VT
