We’re on the move with community outreach and healthy food education programming! Today, Chef Tarsha, Founder of ECOTONE World was joined by Ron McFarland, Founder | Farmer of Harlem River Farms for their collaborative presentation: “The Farmer & The Chef: Where Is Our Food Coming From?” In support of NEO Project’s Outdoor & Green Careers Day, Chef Tarsha and Farmer Ron led interactive engagement with approximately 120 students at Towne West Elementary School in Fort Bend County, Houston TX Given four sessions of 40 minutes intervals, students’ expressed excitement and anticipation as they as they got to touch and taste, dream and draw, and create culinary art! “Tropical Fruit Skewers” were the talk of Townewest Elementary (smile) and everyone had an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas in response to the question: Where is Our Food Coming From? The opportunity to work with their hands, engage nature (via live plants), and eat their work went over well with young career dreamers. We hope to have inspired a few Farmers and Chefs out of this bunch!
