State Recognizes Princeton’s Healthy Lunch Efforts
New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher applauded the Princeton School District’s efforts to offer students meals that are nutritious and appealing and provide New Jersey produce and teach students about agriculture during a visit to Community Park Elementary School as part of National School Lunch Week and Farm to School Month on Tuesday.
Fisher joined students in a Garden State on Your Plate tasting, in which farmers and chefs paired up to demonstrate a single ingredient.
Princeton University chefs prepared organic broccoli leaves from Chickadee Creek Farm in Hopewell. The students tasted the raw broccoli leaves, then squeezed lemon on it and tasted it again, noting how the lemon changed the taste of the broccoli. Finally, they tasted broccoli leaf slaw.
