Foodways at Nana Cardoon

Our programs draw from our own cultural histories while honoring connections with peasant farmers around the world.  We think of meals, produced from our farm by our students, as the binding elements of culture and our connection, throughg hands in the dirt, to agrarian cultures the world over, and to ourselves.  Our goal with students of all ages is the silence that settles in when a table full of eaters realizes they are tasting something from the garden, incrediblly delicious, fresh and nutritious, and that they had a hand in producing.
