At Walden we have an integrated writing and cooking program. We explore local food production--farms, locavore restaurants, artisan cheese, salumi and chocolate makers, and home cooks who share their food heritage with students. At school, we cook, host guest chefs and write recipes, poetry, essays, manifestos, and short stories about the food experiences.
We are currently building a new school and designing a classroom specifically for this program and hope to have an organic garden and chickens off the kitchen.
