Thrilled to share @chefjoseandres is supporting @freshfarmdc’s #foodeducation for another year, as reported by @WTOP/@WTOPClabaugh. From support for our first teaching kitchen in 2011 to this year’s consequential gift, we are so grateful! Learn more: https://t.co/PRLBi6AkEy
So inspiring to hear from students of @FoodPrintsDC at the #FoodIsMedicine Summit, sharing how fun and delicious healthy food can be!
(Also, we can't wait to make ABC Salad: https://t.co/nVBJNyPOau)
Four amazing students taught Members of Congress how to make Tuscan Kale Salad - and shared what they loved about FoodPrints - today at the @HHSGov#FoodIsMedicine Summit.

A study by @GWtweets published in @jnebonline brings forward youth voices to show FoodPrints #foodeducation has a lasting impact on healthy dietary behaviors at home and beyond.
"FoodPrints teaches you to be independent in cooking for yourself." 🥕🍽️

🍁 Last week, our team visited Deep Roots Farm for a day of service! We are proud to support Farmer Gale, who has been growing fruits and veggies in Prince George for the past 5 years! 🍁 @DeepRootsFarm#DCPS#LocalFarmers#DeepRootsFarm
Check out this @DCist story about FoodPrints! You'll wish you were in 3rd grade at @WallsAtFrancis where students #growcookeatlearn:
🥬 Zendaya learned leaves “give the plant food” through photosynthesis
🥬 Kale is Graham's "favorite super food”

Thrilled to be featured @AubreyNPR on how our @FRESHFARMDC FoodPrints program weaves food & cooking into the curriculum. Against the backdrop of high rates of diet-related disease, "an investment in nutrition education makes sense." @USDANutrition

Students make connections in school gardens. Our summer students at @PayneDCPS learned about plant traits & discussed human-plant interactions via the exchange of oxygen and CO2. Cyrus summed up this plant love: "We need them and they need us." 🌱 #summerlearning@dcpublicschools
Our @dcpublicschools summer students are learning about new kitchen and garden tools - and how to use them safely. They used graters to grate apples, beets, and carrots for ABC Salad. Many are trying and liking this new food! 🍎🥕
