Fantastic feature of the collaboration with HealthyPlymouth, Terra Cura Inc., and the Plymouth Public Schools!

"From these gardens, 550 pounds of locally grown fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs that were harvested and made available to those in need.
Where did these 550 pounds of food go? The fresh produce was distributed to families in Plymouth at summer food distribution and meal sites, elderly meal pickup sites, and food pantries. Produce consisted of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, kale, squash, lettuce, green peppers, dill, basil, and thyme. For example:
Tomatoes (40 pounds!) were used to make sandwiches and salads for students and their families through the Plymouth Public School’s Food Service Department.
Fresh basil was turned into pesto for 66 pickup meals through the local Council on Aging.
Garden produce was available to families at the Hedge Elementary School summer meal pick up site where breakfasts and lunches were served!"
