Sunset Beach Elementary School’s ‘Aina Kine Market
Posted On: Mar 02, 09Perusing the first Student Farmer’s Market at Sunset Elementary, one could find a colorful assortment of fresh fruit, veggies, herbs, flowers, and lots of excitement!
Students and parents alike asked their peers questions about the produce and their market. By the looks on people’s faces, everyone was pleased. Children, teachers, parents, & community volunteers planned & worked together to kick off the first ‘Aina Kine Market on Friday, February 20th. School families and community members donated produce and flowers from their backyard gardens or farms to help the group raise funds for wellness programs at the school. Great work Sunset!
In starting a student farmers market, one thing that is very important is hygiene and food safety. Take a look at this publication from UC Davis for ideas.
