Junior Pre-K through Grade 5 students experienced the culinary joy of using fresh raw ingredients from the garden to make a healthy and tasty snack. Dan Allen from Farmscape showed them how to make a nut and dairy free version of pesto with basil, garlic, and olive oil, seasoned with a little bit of salt and pepper. Students smashed garlic and fresh-picked basil using a mortar and pestle and then added in the other ingredients. They tasted the pesto on carrots and peas to round out the experience.
