Service for all Seasons with Farm to School

In this episode of The S-Files, we are checking out the service stories of two AmeriCorps members that are serving with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction AmeriCorps Farm to School Program. We start our conversation with Catherine Masters and then sit down to speak with Gwen Murphy, both of whom are serving this year at Rooted in Madison and working with students in the Madison Metropolitan School District. We discuss how they are engaging students in nutrition lessons, working with students in school gardens, tasting seasonally available foods, providing seasonal recipes and resources to families, and connecting with local Wisconsin farmers. Listen to learn how Catherine and Gwen have been connecting their lessons this fall and winter to harvesting and healthy eating and their plans for growing new foods and memories with their students this spring and summer in the gardens and the classroom.
