Paddock to Plate


From the Patumahoe vegetable garden and fruit orchard to our plates....mmm!

We cannot thank our wonderful volunteers enough!  Without you, this exceptional programme would not exist at our school.  

There were many misconceptions about where food comes from.  This created the opportunity for rich discussions about the world around us.

We discussed waste, sustainability and recycling and the importance of all three.

We discussed food...a lot! 
Where do fruits and vegetables come from?
Where do breads, muesli bars and rice come from?
Most importantly and to no surprise, where does chocolate and ice-cream come from?!

We learned how to care for our garden, how to compost, how to feed our plants, how to prepare meals from food in our garden and much more.  

Check out Room 5 having a blast!
