CHEF’S WANTED FOR LOCAL FOOD COOKING DEMOS

This fall Detroit Public Schools began a Farm to School program in 18 of the districts schools ranging from Early Childhood Centers to High Schools, where a locally grown fruit or vegetable is incorporated into the daily school lunch program once a month. As part of the farm to school program, students are able to learn about where and how their food was grown and begin to understand the meaning of the local food system and seasonality. As part of this educational experience, the Office of Food Service would like to invite area chefs to lead cooking demonstrations that teach students, parents and staff how to use leftover produce. Interested chefs should contact Michaelle Rehmann, FSEP Farm to School Program Director at rehmannm@ewashtenaw.org or (734) 222.3817.
