BISD Food & Nutrition Services proudly hosted a Nutrition Education Activity to celebrate our successful completion of the October Farm Fresh Challenge! 🌽🥒🌮

During this engaging event, we spotlighted locally sourced ingredients that nourish our students, including cucumbers and zucchini from Terra Preta Farm in Weslaco, TX, and corn tortillas from Exquisita Tortillas in Edinburg, TX.

Students also enjoyed a delicious sample of chicken quesadilla with spinach, paired with refreshing cucumber water, a perfect way to taste the benefits of fresh, local produce!

We took the opportunity to educate students about the importance of supporting local agriculture and shared fun facts and stories about how these ingredients make their way from nearby farms and businesses to our school cafeterias.
Thank you to our local partners for helping us bring farm-fresh goodness to BISD!

🌱 BISD is proud to serve fresh zucchini sourced directly from L & L Farms in Batesville, TX, during student lunches. Known for their commitment to sustainable farming and premium-quality produce, L & L Farms is led by Brandon and Kincaid, who prioritize responsible land stewardship and environmental balance to ensure healthy soil and vibrant crops.

Zucchini, a member of the summer squash family, brings both flavor and nutrition to the table. Students benefit from its rich profile of vitamins and minerals, especially when both the skin and inner portion are enjoyed.

Nutrients found in Summer Squash ~ Eating the skin and inside portion provides the full nutritional benefit. ~ A source of B vitamins, which help the body make and use energy. ~ Rich in vitamin C, which supports healing and reduces infection risk. ~ Contains manganese, a trace mineral that helps build bones and connective tissue.

Through this partnership, BISD continues to support local agriculture while nourishing students with fresh, wholesome ingredients grown with care. 💚🤠🚜✨
