Held yesterday at Sheldon Farms in Salem, N.Y., approximately 50 people got together for a Slow Food USA call-to-action to return real food to school cafeterias, both locally and nationally. Our “Eat-In” was a pot-luck featuring dishes built around food that was grown and raised in a “good, clean & fair” manner. Speakers included Carolyn Wells, the chef at NYC’s St. Bernard’s School, who was at Sheldon Farms gathering food to bring back to her school to freeze and use in the winter months and Margaret Lamb, school lunch program director for the Saratoga Springs City School District, who has been successfully bringing fresh and local farm foods to her school system for a few years. Organized by Rocco Verrigni and Pat Sheldon, the SFSR Eat-in proved a great and delicious success.
Watch for recipes of many of the wonderful dishes!
