Oak Hill Begins Organic Lunch Program
x
 The Good Earth Natural Foods Program
has proven itself already as a successful endeavor for many of our students. Check out the pictured salad-takers!
Students are making good food choices: fresh organic fruit for dessert at every meal, salads, raw vegetables, whole grain pasta with choices of sauces - the pesto has been surprisingly popular. Students like to make their own choices of what to put on their plates, and all the choices are fresh, organic and seasonal. Our biggest problem with the program right now is getting the amounts delivered just right, making sure no food choices are mixed together before they're served - oh no! - and the Good Earth folks are great to work with on these minor details.

It was very much appreciated by all, as you can see in the photos below.
