CT will expand Farm to School program to teach kids about food
When a farmer at Cold Spring Farm held up a garlic bulb and explained how to grow the plant, one of the 10-year-olds visiting the Colchester farm asked if they could eat it like an apple. When the farmer showed them how to grow a potato, another kid shouted “I love McDonald’s!” As the group of Middletown fourth grade students began to garden, one child screamed that he got dirt in his eye, while one of the girls showed off that the garlic plant she was inspecting was healthy. “It’s like a little baby,” she said excitedly.
