🌱 Holcomb Elementary School fourth graders had a great day at Apple Seeds, Inc. farm! From picking fresh vegetables to cleaning, preparing, and cooking them, our students got hands-on experience with healthy eating and learning where food comes from. 🥕🥬
They ended the day by enjoying a nutritious and delicious snack they helped make!
We are so thankful for our partnership with Apple Seeds, Inc. Experiences like this help our students build a deeper appreciation for food, nutrition, and healthy habits. 💚
