Students serve produce they helped grow

Students at Swampscott Middle School in Swampscott, Mass., will be serving samples of vegetables they helped grow in the school’s garden, Item Live reports.

During the first lunch period, students will serve samples of lettuce and kale to their peers. The students also worked with the district’s director of dining services to create a dressing to top the produce using herbs from the garden.

School officials hope that the tasting educates students about local, fresh produce and sparks interest in the school’s garden club. The school is planning on having at least two additional tastings this year.
