From Chef Chris in our kitchen:

Seed2Tray has some very exciting news. This coming Thursday at 10 am we will be visited by WCAX. They are coming to do a story on our meal program, Provision 2 and take home meals. This will certainly bring our program into the spotlight and hopefully allow us to secure some more funding. We are very proud of this as everyone in the food service program has worked extremely hard this year. Our numbers are up in every school and we constantly check in with our students to ensure they are happy.

If you are not already, please follow us on Instagram or Facebook at @Seed2Tray, we keep these pages updated with new menu options, as well as pictures of our students enjoying the food.
