Lush Valley Food Action Society
School in Courtenay

We visited several farms and community gardens to observe and participate in gathering ingredients and the evaluation of food production. A visit from a local yogurt company was a great education opportunity for the participants to learn about the process of making yogurt while anticipating our yummy creations. We also prepared sprouting kits for each family with the motivation of providing nutritional boot to any meal. Daily preparation and harvest of healthy in season snacks and lunches each day and prepared for the creation of a full meal for all of their families on Friday. Thank you to Amara Farm, Sea View Game, CV Farmers Market, Tree Island Yougurt for supporting the Young Cooks! And a special thank you to United Way for funding our summer camp program!Our after school program will start once schools get back into to session, start date TBA. In the mean time check out our community kitchens and gardens workshops as they are open to youth and families.
