๐ถ๏ธ We spiced things up in the ag room this week!๐ฑ๐
Our Food Science students had the opportunity to use fresh, locally grown vegetables (donated by Avers Acres Strawberries) to create their own salsa to their standards. But they didnโt stop there! Students also had to develop their own salsa company and create a label complete with ingredients, nutrition facts, a business name, and a logo.
Today was the big day! We welcomed 10 judges into the ag room to taste and evaluate the studentsโ delicious creations. ๐ถ๏ธ
This is one of our favorite labs because it gives students a hands-on look at what farm-to-table really means. They get to take fresh, locally grown products and turn them into a finished food product while learning about food science, nutrition, marketing, and entrepreneurship along the way.
Itโs amazing to see the creativity, teamwork, and pride our students put into their projects. And, of course, getting to enjoy some great salsa is an added bonus!
Congratulations to all of our groups! We are proud of the hard work you put into this project!
๐ฑ Farm fresh. Student made. Learning that lasts!๐ถ๏ธ
Will post winners later!
