Family & Consumer Science Members Participate in Conference
The Family and Consumer Sciences Department attended the local Farm to Table conference on March 24, 2017. Some of the attendees included Pine-Richland High School teachers Kathy Bylinowski and Heidi Davis and Pine-Richland Middle School Teacher Erika Graham.
Events within the conference included the popular conference kick-off “Friday Night Food Tasting,” a variety of educational opportunities, cooking demonstrations, food sampling, nutrition information, and health and wellness discussions.
Farm to Table taught attendees about where their food originates, the advantages of eating local (for health and economic reasons), and provides attendees the opportunity to meet businesses owners, farmers, purveyors, food producers, and organizations who can provide them with healthy food and lifestyle options.
The two-day event served as a valuable resource both to
those who are looking to learn more about eating locally and those who are
already well versed in Farm to Table culture.
said Erin Hart, director of Health Benefit Services for the American HealthCare Group and founder of Farm to Table Pittsburgh. "
Food is the great connector, connecting us to our history, to the earth, and to each other. Food is also central to building community, revitalizing neighborhoods, and bridging gapsthat may separate us.”
