HARVEST DAY!

Good afternoon everyone,

Happy Monday! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day...and enjoying this beautiful weather!

Personally, I am having a great Monday because I got to harvest this morning!! My hands (and the Kentwood kitchen) smell like herbs, and it’s awesome! I am very proud of our totals this time around, and I wanted to share them with you. 🌱

Basil ... 4.25 pounds

Cilantro ... 4.13 pounds

Dill ... 2.25 pounds

Parsley ... 2.15 pounds 

Chervil ... 2.3 pounds

Shisho ... 0.5 pounds

That’s a total of 15.5 pounds of produce delivered to dining halls and the PSU today!!!

Just to give an idea of how much that really is, if you were to put that in your cart at the grocery store it would cost you around $500!

WOW. 

 
                                     

Add that to the fact that they’re 10 times fresher and prettier than what you can buy at a store, and it’s absolutely incredible. 

Have a wonderful week!

Out & About On Campus

Hey y’all!

If you were walking to class through Bearfest Village yesterday, I hope you stopped to check out the Sustainability Showcase put on by the College of Agriclture! The Green Team wanted to be a part of this event, so we had one of our grow towers on display for students to check out. There was a lot of interest, and we are excited about pushing for ever-increasing sustainability on our campus. 

Go bears! 🐻 

There are events continuing this week for the Public Affairs Conference, so we encourage you to attend some of the sessions and learn something new about being sustainable!
