Excitingly, United States Senator Bill Nelson has recognized the Taste History Culinary Tours of Historic Palm Beach County.
The encouraging unexpected letter from United States Senator Bill Nelson about the Taste History Culinary Tours and the Farm to School event that I coordinated has generated much pride. Particularly, the pride is among the partners with these programs who are Palm Beach County business owners, restaurateurs, chefs, bakers, farmers, educators and artists because Taste History and the Farm To School event highlight their culinary talents, creative art, educational initiatives and economic contributions in the local community.
Farm To School Month was designated by Congress. Farm To School Month is defined as any program that connects schools (K-12) and local farms with the objectives of serving healthy meals in school cafeterias, improving student nutrition, providing agriculture, health and nutrition education opportunities, and supporting local and regional farmers. Farm to school programs exist in all 50 states, but since farm to school is a grassroots movement, programs are as diverse as the communities that build them.
Here's the link for the blog about the Farm To School Month that event that I coordinated at Trinity Lutheran School in Delray Beach http://fashionhistorymuseum.blogspot.com/2013/11/children-parents-day-outreach.html.
