About this service
Growing food, preparing food and sharing food together are long established Evergreen traditions. The Food Literacy Program was started in 2017 and is made possible through a grant from Farm to Cafeteria Canada. Our focus is on both growing food and sourcing food from our local producers. In small groups, the intermediate students prepare lunches for their classmates. We always harvest something from our school garden and explore the cuisines of the world. We eat everything from Peru to Japan. The primary students have a Primary Nutrition Program where they prepare healthy snacks like smoothies and energy balls. In the interest of inclusivity, we have an entirely gluten free and vegetarian food program. All students become more adventurous and educated eaters after every school year.
