Feeding Our Future: Nourishing Kids and Community with Locally Sourced Food

The increasing number of kids who eat multiple meals a day at early childhood education centers and schools presents challenges and opportunities for food service providers who want to provide the best nutrition possible for the kids in their care. Join ValleyHUB staff and partners for a conversation about the legislation and logistics that influence school meals. Hear from local food service providers who are overcoming challenges to feed kids in a good way and from farmers whose businesses have been impacted by farm to school purchasing programs. Learn how you can support these efforts to nourish the growing brains and bodies of kids in our community!
This event is part of the Honorable Harvest lecture series, organized in alignment with the Kalamazoo Foodways Symposium, and inspired by the beloved Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass. Kimmerer describes the Indigenous principles and practices of the Honorable Harvest, asking us to give back in reciprocity for what we have been given. Join us in this lecture series to explore ways in which we can come together to nurture and restore the Honorable Harvest in our communities and in our every day lives.
Arrive as early as 5 p.m. to enjoy Taps on Tuesday, a happy hour-style event hosted by Kalamazoo Valley’s culinary and brewing students.
