🥕🍎 Did you know? The Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a USDA grant that lets our elementary students try a variety of fresh fruits and veggies as a healthy snack—often introducing them to produce they haven’t tried before!

This Tuesday’s FFVP feature is persimmons! 🧡 Students will get to enjoy this sweet, seasonal fruit and learn a bit about it along the way.

FFVP fruits and veggies are served at these schools: Astor, Boise-Eliot Humboldt, Cesar Chavez, Faubion, Grout, James John, Kelly, Lee, Lent, Markham, Martin Luther King Jr., Marysville, Pioneer Programs, Rigler, Rosa Parks, Scott, Sitton, Vestal, Whitman, Woodlawn, and Woodmere.

Encourage your student to try something new this week! 🍊

Following a devasting fire this summer, our partners at Umi Organic had to start over on how they would find a way to make yakisoba and other noodles again.

We are so happy to announce that they are back! Still made in Portland, still made with the same ingredients and Oregon flours.

Welcome back Umi Organic and yakisoba to our ❤️

Did you try our Brussels sprouts today? A little sweet and a little spicy - from agave and Dijon mustard tossed on them after roasting in the oven. Seen here with our lightly breaded chicken breast fillet on a fresh whole wheat bun. The colorful fruit? A red fleshed apple from Kiyokawa Family Orchards.
