October 1, 2009, Field Trip To The Merc!




On October 1, 2009, Chef Sula Teller invited Prairie Moon students for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Community Mercantile Deli, a key Okanis Garden partner. Weekly during 2009, the Merc Deli purchased produce from the Okanis Garden, transforming the vegetables and herbs into delectable deli dishes. During the store visit, one of the students made the final Okanis delivery of the season: four ounces of sage. For the students, Sula used a graphic to show the local food cycle, from garden to customer. As a thank-you for the tour, the students played Sula a song on wooden flutes.
