It's an opportunity for kids to interact with and get an appreciation for nature. Also, the goal is to empower them with skills and self-confidence that they can then take into their community.<BR/><BR/>Fenster, OMG the food here is amazing. Every day we have a gigantic bowl of fresh salad greens picked about 30 minutes before we sit down to eat. In season we have growing now: awesome tomatoes, okra, eggplant, pumpkins, soursop (fruit), Carambola (starfruit), sour oranges, and various other veggies and fresh herbs. Chef Keith takes care of us for the innovative and phenomenal local slow-foods meals every day. I'll write more about it when we get to our section on slow foods.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday for dinner we had local grass-fed beef that had been stewed from before breakfast.

I find it oddly appropriate that you used the same template as the one I used for my food blog. I'm still figuring out a good weekend to come visit.
