(Agenda subject to change draft 6/2/10)
Notes: We have an active, fun agenda for you. Please come prepared to get your hands dirty and try some new things! Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and dress for the weather as well be outside a lot of the time. If you have special food requirements, please let us know or bring your own lunch. Bring gloves, hat, sunscreen, insect repellant and a water bottle that you can refill.
This workshop will provide teachers with an understanding of Farm to School, local food systems, and hands-on activities they can replicate with their students. Teachers will see, taste and hear examples of how local foods can enhance their students education, and appreciation of farming in Georgia.
