What we have learned from our Sow What journey.

• We have learned about eating healthy, and what kind of healthy and delicious options we have in meal preparation.  Thank you to our dietian friend Amanda Woodruff.  She really helped us learn about reading labels and what to look for when shopping  Also, how to make substiutions for healthier meal preparations and planning.  

• We really learned about the different foood sources in our area by exploring and interviewing at our local farmers market. We also, learned about the work involved in our food production, planting, harvesting, and selling.  

• We explored ways to preserve local harvest and produce.  We shared this with our family and friends. As we gathered recipes and used our lemon confit in our meals.  We learned how to use our food sources and not be wasteful.  

• We explored food preparation in different cultures, explored new recipes, and tried new dishes.  

This highlights just a few of the adventures we shared this year as we've journeyed through Sow What!!
