Local Radish and Asparagus Tasting Responses

May Farm Fresh Food Days were a real feature of spring produce in Michigan, with both radishes and asparagus being sampled throughout Dexter schools.  Students at DHS, Mill Creek, Creekside, and Cornerstone got to fresh spring radishes from two different local farms; Zilke Vegetable Farm and Tantre Farm.  After students at those schools ate through ALL of the radishes, we pulled form some of the local asparagus that Dexter Food and Nutrition ordered from Grossnickle Farms through Cherry Capital Foods to sample at Wylie and Bates Elementary schools. Here are some photos and the results of students’ sampling experiences . . .
