Today, students made a range of salads and created their own salad bar. The lesson kicked off with a presentation from Karen Chow from Farm direct. Farm Direct is a local hydroponic vegetable farm. Karen spoke to students about hydroponic vegetable farming, food safety and sustainability. She also brought it some samples of different lettuce varieties. These were later used by students to make some of salads that were sold at the salad bar. Staff who came down at lunch to try the salads were very impressed and gave students very positive feedback.
