Langley Environmental Partners Society came to visit our classroom to wrap up the Seed to Plate program we have been participating in. The program took us to the Walnut Grove Community garden, Glorious Organic Farm and today's celebration. The students learned what it means to be a locovore (someone who tries to buy food that is produced locally). They provided us with buns from Bread Affair, potato chips (Hard Bite) grown in Maple Ridge,and cheese and tomatoes from the Fraser Valley. The students agreed that this locally produced food tasted much better than packaged food. If you are interested in buying from and supporting our local farmers, the Langley Farmers Market takes place every Wednesday from 2-6pm at Kwantlen College. It was encouraging to hear that some our families have already been there.
