Farmer Joe Carlin from Carlin Family Farms of Windham, Maine was a delight to have and he wants to come back! Several students stopped by the Mindful Dining station last night to see what all the decorations were about and ask Joe some questions. Students asked about his practices, what he grew, if he had animals, how long he had been in business, etc. It was a lot of fun and hey, the squash (served with a maple and brown sugar syrup) was absolutely delicious! Joe is always looking for helpers so if you're interested in farm work, give him a call: 207-892-9854
Students had fun spinning the Food Day wheel and answering questions as they related to health, hunger, sustainability, and farming. Jacobb Charette, Program Manager for Safety Assistants, provided great treats for students who answered correctly!
Enjoy the pictures :) And check out what the rest of the country did on Food Day at FoodDay.org, Food Day on Facebook, and/or Food Day on Flickr!
