Drink Up!

Help me give my students a juicer to use up all the different citrus we have!

My Project

We have an abundance of citrus fruits from our trees on the farm and the surrounding community and many times we can't eat all of them before they get chucked into the compost bins. With these juicers we will be able to make juice with the tangerines, oranges, grapefruits and lemons that would just end up in the compost (which is ok too). My students will be able to make delicious juices from the citrus and add kale, ginger and maybe even green beans from the garden. They might not like the juice, but it will be healthy for all of us!

Fun Food Fridays has been a hit since we started it last year and adding these juicers will give us one more thing we can use to utilize the abundance of food that we grow or is shared with us from the community.

Being able to figure out how to consume the things we grow is an important part of learning sustainability. Value-added products is also another lesson we plan to learn as part of what the garden can teach us. We are very fortunate to be able to have the produce we do to learn with, and having these different supplies and equipment helps a lot.
