Although Harvest of the Month is often used in school settings, our resources can be easily applied to adult education around nutrition and cooking. In Winooski, one program is a shining example of this.
FRESH Food, a social enterprise of Vermont Works for Women, utilizes Vermont Harvest of the Month as a learning tool for their culinary trainees. HOM is used by Chef Robin to introduce new or unknown fruits, vegetables, and herbs to women who are learning professional culinary skills for eventual employment in the local community. Flavor pairings are made and taste tests conducted in order to incorporate the featured HOM into a menu item for either childcare meals or catering jobs for local businesses.
