this topic is something that I know far too much about and it is not as simple as using a school garden to enhance the food served in school kitchens. All of the food served in MCPS comes from ONE central kitchen which is incredibly limited in its resources and ability to produce.
this is a HUGE conversation and would be better served in a different forum.
I seriously can't comment here about some of the things going on with the Farm to School program and the dealings with MCPS. If you are truly interested in the down and dirty and want to make a difference and have your voice heard - contact me at
