From Farm To Table: Nutrition Is King
The sun was shining brightly on Monday at Guild Farm House in Philadelphia, making it the perfect setting for an afternoon of harvesting sweet potatoes. Joined by members of Eagles Care partners Northern Children’s Services and Greener Partners, Connor Barwin and Bennie Logan were ready to start the fun and learn more about the importance of nutrition.
The day began by digging up sweet potatoes from the garden. Everyone used their hands to pull the vegetables from the soil, where they had been growing since planted in June. Barwin and Logan had plenty of help from the kids who attended the Community Monday event, and in no time, the group filled two large containers with crops.
