Serving the next generation food with integrity to ensure our community is nourished.
Actions
Angie is a director for two districts north of the Twin Cities (Roseville & St. Anthony/New Brighton) that serve a total of ~10,000 students. With over 12 years of child nutrition experience, she has a passion for food equity that encompasses food quality and access, food sourcing, and environmental sustainability. She has moved her districts toward more scratch cooking, integrated more locally sourced produce, proteins, grains, and products, and expanded the variety of options from various cultural backgrounds represented in her districts. In her personal life, she has two boys (1 & 3) that keep her busy but she also enjoys moving her body (dancing, yoga, and anything outside) and—despite her day job—cooking and baking at home.
Local Foods, Learning and Growing Together
MN Thursdays has long been a movement for school districts in our state to focus on foods grown and/or made locally. It is a way to educate guests about where food comes from, while supporting local growers and food systems. But procuring and offering these fresh, local foods and ingredients is not an easy task. In this roundtable workshop, several MN based stakeholders and key decision makers, including local districts, growers/producers, aggregators, government agencies like MDA and other industry members who are invested in enhancing fresh and local school nutrition offerings will share their real Farm to School stories. Then, you will have the opportunity to join in two brief breakout discussions to address key topics with your peers with the goal of discovering how we can bring local foods to schools, by learning and growing together.
