The first half of the 2024-2025 school year has been full of love for local foods! Six school districts hosted events, giving 1,287 students the chance to try something new or local. Food items that have been tried included :
- Sun gold tomatoes
- Mini sweet peppers
- Local apples
- Hydroponic lettuce
- Sweet potatoes
- Microgreens
- Sweetie Pie Cookies
- Dough Go cookies
After students tried the new foods they had a chance to vote whether they “LOVED IT”, “LIKED IT”, or “NOT FOR ME”. When we say they loved the new foods, we mean they truly loved them!
Out of the 1,287 students:
– 797 students voted they “LOVED IT”
-273 students voted they “LIKED IT”
– 217 students voted they were “NOT FOR ME”
We hope this next half of the year is filled with even more fun and local foods. If you are interested in setting up a Totally Tasty Taste test event at your school, fill out our interest form here.
