From garden to meals: Sardis
Presbyterian donates produce
The Sardis Presbyterian vegetable garden has been
dry. The tomatoes were small.
But that meant they were just the right size to
cut up and serve in a Friendship Trays meal box.
So the church donated three boxes of its
tomatoes. And Kitchen Manager Sibyl Durant set them in the fridge to
cool before preparing them for use.
Executive Director Lucy Bush Carter says that
meal plans are prepared in advance, but they can be changed to
accommodate fresh produce from area farms and gardens.
Last month, recipients ate cantaloupe cubes after
Society of St. Andrew gleaners brought a pickup truck load of the
fruit from a China Grove farm. In July, staff were cutting up up and
cooking zucchini rescued from
a Union County farm.
