A
Hi
I'm
Jodie
Russi,
the
host
for
food
for
thought,
and
thanks
for
watching
today,
I'm
joined
by
Katie
bear
from
the
coastal
sun
belt
produce
company,
one
of
our
vendors
right
here
in
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
we're
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
fruits,
vegetables
and
particularly
local,
produce
welcome
Katie
to
food
for
thought.
Can
you
tell
the
viewers
a
little
bit
about
yourself
before
we
start
the
show
sure.
B
Produce
is
actually
a
second
career
for
me.
I
spent
10
years
in
the
Navy
as
a
helicopter
pilot
that
adventure
actually
started
here
in
Anne
Arundel
County
at
the
Naval
Academy
and
then
I
spend
most
of
my
time
in
San
Diego
out.
There
I
fell
in
love
with
farmers,
markets
and
local
food
and
when
it
was
time
to
decide
whether
to
leave
the
military,
not
I
ended
up
deciding
to
start
a
mobile
grocery
delivery
business
out
there
I
worked
with
for
local
organic
farms
about
eight
other
local
businesses.
B
So
when
my
fiance
got
military
orders,
who's
still
active
duty
military
out
here
to
Annapolis
to
teach
the
Naval
Academy,
we
decided
to
close
that
venture
up
out
there
and
that
brought
me
out
here
to
Annapolis
and
through
some
networking
through
some
farm
conferences,
the
cost
of
conference
I
met
the
vice
president
of
purchasing
at
coastal
and
that's
how
I
ended
up
here,
told
him
what
I
was
up
to
and
they
said
they
were
looking
for
someone
to
really
build
their
local
produce
and
am
buying
and
Here.
I
am
good.
A
Well,
we
for
viewers
watching
interval
did
County
Public
Schools.
We
serve
about
thirty
to
thirty
one
thousand
lunches
a
day,
and
we
do
a
large
variety
of
fruits
and
vegetables.
I.
Think
seeing
is
believing
when
you
see
what
our
lines
look
like.
It
really
looks
like
the
grocery
store,
the
colors
pop
our
students
are
going
through
the
lines
and
they're
just
really
filling
half
of
their
plates
with
fruits
and
vegetables.
Just
like
USD
I
would
encourage
all
of
us
to
do
when
we
eat
at
our
different
meals,
so
with
coastal
you're,
one
of
our
vendors.
A
So
what
that
means
to
somebody
watching
is
you
provide
an
arundel
county
public
schools
in
our
120
locations,
all
of
our
fruits
and
vegetables?
What
is
your
role
so
when
you
say
you're
going
to
buy
a
coastal,
so
I
think
everybody
knows
that.
Obviously
we
do
business
with
you
weekly
all
year,
long,
how
you
know
what
is
your
role
or
or
how
to
use
secure
local
farmers
at
coastal,
Sun,
Belt,
yep.
B
So
coastal
is
a
full
line
of
produce,
so
we
get
stuff.
You
know
stuff
from
Thailand.
We
get
stuff
right
here
from
Anne
Arundel
County
from
farmers,
so
we
source
from
all
over
the
globe,
but
my
role
is
as
local
buyer
is
to
find
those
farmers
that
we
can
have
partnerships
with
and
link
them
with
our
customers,
such
as
internal
County,
Public
Schools.
B
So
when
the
growing
season
really
gets
going,
which
is
starting
to
kick
off
right
about
now
and
through
the
fall
things
get
really
busy
for
local
produce
and
a
lot
more
options
become
available
in
the
winter
months
we
have
some
hydro
growers
and
around
the
area
that
keep
us
going
and
some
produce
will
store
pretty
well
squashes
apples.
Things
like
that.
That
can
keep
us
eating
locally
year-round
and.
A
I
think
that's
what
we're
seeing
more
and
more
in
Anne
Arundel
County,
so
we've
wrote
language
in
our
bid
and
it
says
that
we
would
source
local
produce
within
150
miles
till
the
viewers.
You
know
just
I
guess
so
somebody
watching
what
would
that
mean
to
them?
What's
a
hundred
and
fifty
mile
radius
for
us-
and
you
know
how
far
out
are
you
looking
at
those
farmers?
You
know
particularly
for
Anne
Arundel
County,
because
we
think
you
do
a
great
job
for
us
here
at
what's.
B
So
neat
about
this
part
of
the
country
is
you
have
so
many
different
political
boundaries
and
states
and
areas
around
the
Chesapeake
Bay
watershed,
but
that
also
gives
us
a
lot
of
access
to
a
lot
of
farms.
So
when
you
talk
to
you,
Jia
graphically
have
southern
Pennsylvania
all
the
way
down
to
southern
Virginia.
We
even
do
some
stuff
in
North
Carolina
as
well.
West
Virginia,
all
the
way
to
the
coastline,
and
each
customer
is
different
on
what
they
define
as
local.
There
is
an
industry
standard
so
for
you
guys,
150
miles.
B
A
Think
the
the
joy
that
we
have
is
that
we're
able
to
work
with
somebody
like
you
but
then
really
connect
to
the
farmer.
I
think
that's
been
so
important,
the
more
we
can
showcase.
You
know
know
where
your
food
comes
from
and
know
your
farmer
I
think
it
really
just
gives
such
credibility
to
the
program
and
we
hope
the
excitement
that
our
students
have
when
they're
coming
through
the
lines
with
us
goes
home
to
the
moms
and
dads,
and
we
hope
they
say
you
know
today.
A
I
tried
asparagus
for
the
first
time
or
today,
I
had
roasted
brussel
sprouts.
When
we
see
the
excitement
on
the
serving
line,
we
know
that
excitements
going
home
and
we're
really.
We
feel
we
cultivate
communities
of
wellness.
We
could
do
it
each
and
every
day
and
every
single
child
that
comes
through
our
line.
We
can
make
a
difference
for
them
when
you
buy
local
and
you
know
we
receive
reports
and
it's
by
pounds
and
what
not?
How
would
you?
A
How
do
you
suggest,
if
there's
a
farmer
that
wants
to
sell,
say
to
Anne
Arundel
County,
you
know
how
do
we
make
the
connection
or
how
do
you
start
for
our
viewer
watching?
Looking
at
what
our
volume
is,
you
know,
for
instance,
31,000
servings
we
need
Montgomery.
County
might
need
X
amount.
You
know.
How
do
you
look
at
that,
especially
when
you
throw
all
the
retail
side
of
it
into
it,
because
you're
buying
for
restaurants
as
well?
Yes,.
B
Our
customers
range
from
I
started
off
with
a
lot
of
restaurants
and
we're
all
high-end
hotels.
We
do
a
lot
of
food
service.
We
also
do
food
retail
with
some
grocery
stores
and
institutions
like
yourselves
and
hospital,
so
we
have
a
large
breadth
of
customer.
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
a
restaurant
takes
a
lot
smaller
volume
than
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
do
what's
neat
about
us.
Is
we
can
aggregate
a
lot
of
stuff
from
a
lot
of
farmers?
So,
for
instance,
you
have
a
really
high
large
volume.
B
Well,
maybe
there's
a
great
farmer
that
we
work
with
I
can't
provide
it
all,
but
we
can
aggregate
from
maybe
two
or
three
local
farmers
in
order
to
get
you,
your
local
spinach
per
se,
so
out,
basically
using
different
strategies
to
make
sure
that
we
are
supporting
the
farmers
and
their
capacity
and
allowing
them
to
grow.
If
that
is
in
fact
what
they
want
to
do
and
also
meeting
the
customers
needs
large
customers.
As
yourselves-
and
you
know,
smaller
customers
like
a
restaurant,
DC
or
something.
A
On
that
you've
done
that
I
know
it's
a
few
years
back,
but
we
had
coastal
Sun
Belt
and
my
team
from
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
meet
at
a
farm
and
we
sat
at
the
kitchen
table
and
we
talked
about
what
items
we
could
procure.
How
often
we
can
use
them
and
kind
of
what
our
volume
would
be,
so
it
actually
gave
that
far
more
to
a
sense
of
okay.
A
B
It's
definitely
trending,
you
can
say
the
local
food
movement,
so
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
have
a
dedicated
local
buyer
myself
and
also
dedicated
local
program
at
Coastal,
that
we're
really
trying
to
ramp
up
and
build
is
to
fill
that
need
because
we
do
find
customers
are
requesting
it.
It
is
trendy,
but
we
also
see
it
as
the
right
thing
to
do
as
well.
A
We
we
like
the
fact
that
you're,
ultimately
responsible
for
the
produce
that
we
received
two
so
I
know
that
sounds
like
maybe
we're
pushing
the
burden
off.
But
if
we
have
farmers
try
to
deliver
to
our
schools,
it
would
be
very
it'd,
be
very
challenging.
It'd,
be
very
hard
for
a
farmer
to
deliver
246
locations
or
120
locations
and
I.
A
Think
that's
something
that
some
some
of
our
viewers
may
not
understand
that
we
don't
have
a
warehouse,
so
there's
not
a
warehouse
in
and
around
the
county
public
schools
that
would
hold
our
fruits
and
vegetables
you're.
Basically,
our
warehouse
and
it's
amazing
when
we
go
to
your
warehouse
we
visited
before
and
just
to
see
the
volume
and
the
size
and
the
way
it's
even
stored.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that?
I
mean
it's.
B
It's
really
a
fast-paced,
really
neat
operation
to
see.
When
you
go
downstairs
in
the
warehouse
you
try
not
to
get
hit
by
a
forklift
because
literally
produce
is
flying
up
and
down
aisles
going.
You
know
three
tiers
high
to
be
stacked.
We
try
to
get
it
out
as
soon
as
we
get
it
in.
You
know,
freshness,
that's
what
sue
me
about
produce
is
it's
very
dynamic
and
the
fact
it's
perishable
product,
so
certain
things
last
longer
than
others,
and
we
have
to
balance
all
that
to
make
sure
that
we
deliver
really
high
quality.
B
Like
you
said,
we
can
be
that
distribution
network
for
transportation
to
help
you
guys,
you
know
get
all
of
your
locations
met.
It's
also
very
beneficial
to
certain
farmer
is
who
perhaps
they're
serving
six
restaurants
in
DC
and
they
have
a
really
awesome
niche
product.
You
know
some
cool
microgreen
that
everybody
wants
at
some
point:
they're
spending
so
much
time
off
the
farm,
making
those
deliveries
and
they
need
to
grow
and
they
want
to
be
on
the
farm.
So
that's
where
they
can
come
to
us
and
we
can
step
in
because
we
can
go.
B
A
Funny
that
you
say
that
way,
because
I
think
we
have
our
each
of
us
have
our
specialty.
So
we
know
how
to
do
a
lot
of
meals
really
fast.
As
a
registered
dietitian
and
a
mom
of
two
girls
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public,
Schools
I
still
do
the
menu
so
I'm
looking
at
it
nutritionally
first,
obviously
what
kids
eat
it
right.
It
has
to
look
great.
It
has
to
be
great
quality.
The
farmer
needs
to
grow
right.
A
B
Is
we
open
doors
to
anyone
who
wants
to
come
and
check
it
out?
Farmers
come
all
the
time
and
they're
amazed
by
to
see
the
operation
that
goes
down
and
they
can
see
immediately.
The
benefits
of
you
know
if
that
is
what
they're
looking
to
do
to
you
know,
distribute
more
to
find
more
customers
without
having
to
do
all
the
marketing
and
the
transportation
themselves
they
see
like
well,
these
these
people
have
the
logistics
and
and
all
that
stuff
down.
C
A
I
think
we
talked
a
little
bit
before
the
show
about
it,
what
better
way
to
showcase
the
farmer
and
the
products
and
in
both
companies
right
so
really
a
ACPs
and
coastal
sunbelt.
We
feel
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
in
and
around
the
county
of
really
saying
this
came
from
phifer
orchards.
This
came
from
Arnold
farms.
We
need
to
showcase
that
we
bought
it
local
and
it's
right
there
on
the
line
and,
like
you
said,
I,
think
the
timeliness
of
it
is
is
quite
incredible
that
it
could
be
harvested.
A
B
Get
lost
in
the
supply
chain
with
the
end
user
and
the
farmer
and
as
we've
seen,
a
lot
of
that
connection
has
been
lost
our
food
system
and
that's
why
this
local
food
program
is
so
important.
So
we
need
to
do
our
job
as
the
middleman
to
be
educating
and
communicating
on
both
ends.
So
we
don't
lose
that
connection
between
the
end.
Consumers
eaten
some
awesome
asparagus
in
the
farmer.
That's
growing
it
out
on
his
farm
that
they
still
make
that
connection.
I.
A
Agree,
we
definitely
support
it.
Our
tagline
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
is
that
we
have
healthy
students.
We
have
healthy
schools
and
we
cultivate
communities
of
wellness
in
each
and
every
time
we
do.
One
of
these
shows
I
laugh
because
I
always
talk
about
it
and
it
just
all
goes
back
to
what
could
we
do
to
really?
You
know
make
a
difference
for
the
students
some
of
our
favorite
items.
A
We
only
have
a
few
minutes
left
before
we're
going
to
break
for
this
segment,
but
some
of
our
items
in
the
favorite
items
that
I
see
are
are
the
roasted
butternut
squash.
We
do
roasted
brussel
sprouts
and
we
do
roasted
acorn
squash
now,
for
somebody
watching
they're
wondering
if
do
I
really
get
these
butternut
squash
and
how
do
I
prepare
those
in
a
school
coastal
sunbelt
takes
care
of
that
for
us.
A
B
Coastal
has
a
partnership
sister
companies
with
East
Coast
fresh,
and
we
have
a
processing
plant
right
there.
Next
to
the
warehouse,
it's
all
on
the
same
location,
so
we
can
take
that
raw
product
chop
slice
do
whatever
needs
to
be
done
to
meet
a
customer's
needs,
especially
for
someone
like
you
guys
that
are
trying
to
push
out
meals,
fast,
quick,
conveniently
and
I.
Don't
have
the
time
to
sit
there
chopped
up
butternut
squash.
We
do
a
salsa
lines.
We
we
do
all
sorts
of
things
with
our
processing
facility
for
a
food,
retail
and
food
service.
A
And
I
think
it's
a
benefit
that
we
really
need
in
Anne,
Arundel
County.
It's
not
that
the
staff
can't
it's
just
the
volume
is
so
great
and
it's
difficult
to
peel
and
chop
a
butternut
squash
I
mean
it's
just
a
very
solid,
hard
vegetables.
So
it
really
makes
our
end
easier
and
we
love
that
it's
a
consistent
dice.
We
receive
it
and
were
able
to
roast
it
and
know
that
every
child
who
comes
through
it
has
the
capability
of
taking
that
and
absolutely
loving
it.
A
We
are
going
to
be
adding
some
of
the
new
items
we're
looking
at
or
even
roasted
pumpkin,
so
we
thought
what
better
way
to
have
pumpkins
and
hopefully
harvested
local
and
receive
those
diced
as
well
to
really
showcase
the
the
different
colors
of
the
rainbow.
So,
as
you
can
see,
it's
really
alive
and
well.
We
thank
you
for
your
partnership.
We
thank
you
for
coming
in
and
spending
time
with
us
today
and
we're
going
to
hear
from
a
farmer.

Amanda
has
salmon
brown

She

However,
not
everyone
can
eat
that
much
without
consequences.
Andreia
sits

all
day
doing
schoolwork.
If
she
wants
to
maintain
a
constant
weight,
she
should
consume
1,700
calories
a
day
for
breakfast.
She
would
have
an
omelette
with
the

of
cottage
cheese
for
lunch,
a
romaine
salad
with
chicken
breasts
and
fresh

A
Welcome
back
and
thanks
for
staying
tuned
to
food
for
thought.
My
next
guest
is
Kurt
Pfeiffer
from
phifer
orchards
in
Wyoming.
Delaware
he's
going
to
really
showcase
all
the
great
work
that
he
does
on
the
farm
as
well
as
all
the
local
produce
that
he
serves.
Many
many
customers
welcome
Kurt
of
food
for
thought.
Can
you
tell
the
viewers
a
little
bit
about
yourself
who
you
are
and
exactly
what
is
Pfeiffer
orchards,
sure.
C
B
C
I
went
away
to
college
after
growing
up
on
the
farm,
I
went
to
the
University
of
Delaware
and
then
went
to
work
somewhere
else
for
about
three
years
to
get
some
experience
elsewhere
and
then
I
came
back
to
the
farm
and
now
I
have
a
family
with
four
children
and
I've
been
at
the
farm
for
about
15
years.
Well,.
A
A
A
So
having
having
been
in
farming
and
it's
a
fourth-generation
like
I
said
often,
you
know
folks
that
might
live
on
this
side
of
the
Chesapeake
Bay
or
in
an
area.
That's
pretty
populated
or
pretty
dense.
I'll
say
like
what
does
a
farmer
do
and
I
think
it's
amazing
being
able
to
be
at
the
farm?
Can
you
just
kind
of
share
with
the
viewers?
A
C
Yeah
well
in
the
wintertime
it's
slow,
but
in
when
it's
warm
out
the
warmer
it
is,
it
seems
the
busier
it
gets
and
we
have
a
lot
of
family
on
the
farm.
I
have
a
couple
brothers,
a
cousin
and
aunt,
and
my
father
is
still
there
as
well.
So
there's
a
lot
of
us
Pfeiffer's
run
around
managing,
but
it's
a
long
day.
We
all
have
our
specialized
things.
C
We
do,
for
instance,
I
am
kind
of
the
liaison
between
the
farm
and
our
customers
and
communicate
what
we
have
and
what's
going
on
on
the
farm
and
making
sure
we
sell
the
right
amount
of
product
and
don't
sell
too
much
or
not
enough,
but
we
usually
come
in
around
six
or
seven.
In
the
morning
we
meet
as
managers
and
determine
what
all
the
employees
are
going
to
do
and
talk
with
the
employees
and
make
sure
that
they're
going
the
right
direction,
communicate
as
much
as
possible,
which
is
important
and
then
my
day.
C
A
lot
of
times
is
communicating
with
customers
or
the
phone
and
email
and
then
I
usually
go
out
to
the
fields.
I,
do
a
lot
of
scouting
to
make
sure
the
produce
is
coming
on
to
make
sure
it
looks
good
in
the
field
make
sure
we're
doing
the
right
things
that
ensure
a
quality
product,
and
then
we
have
two
packing
houses
where
we
bring
the
produce
in
and
pack
it
in
two
cases.
So
I
go
there
quite
often
to
several
times
a
day
to
check
the
product.
C
A
I
think
it's
so
valuable
what
you
do
and
I
think
again
being
on
the
farm.
How
about
what
changes?
Have
you
seen
and
I
know
with
it
being?
You
know
fourth
generation
I'm
sure
over
the
years
you
know
probably
talking
to
your
dad
or
his
dad
right.
I
guess,
maybe
is
where
it
would
have
started.
The
changes
must
be
immense
right,
just
how,
if
we
look
around
in
our
own
environment,
all
the
changes
that
happen
in
technology
right
has
changed.
So
many
things.
A
What
things
have
you
seen
change
and
maybe
even
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
Institute
or
you
implemented
on
the
farm
just
coming
back
a
fresh
set
of
eyes.
You
know
you
having
the
college
behind
you
and
the
impact
you
could
make
to.
You
know
for
the
greater
good
for
the
farm,
as
well
as
for
the
community
sure.
C
Yeah,
it's
been
a
lot
of
fun
just
to
see
with
the
onslaught
of
computers.
My
generation
was
really
the
first
one
to
just
bring
that
on
and
it's
been
fun
to
see
it
happen,
but
there's
a
long
list
of
things
but
out
in
the
field,
we
have
tractors
that
use
GPS,
which
help
us
to
put
on
a
less
chemical
and
fertilizer.
It
makes
gives
us
straight
rows
and
it's
it's
pretty
interesting.
My
kids
love
it
because
the
we
have
about
four
tractors
that
steer
themselves.
C
A
C
A
C
I
think
they
they
certainly
embrace
it.
We
have
a
great
third
generation,
that's
supportive,
and
they
they
want
to
see
the
farm
succeed
and
really
it's
just
smart.
Some
of
the
things
we're
doing
like
environmentally
a
lot
of
the
engines
were
purchasing
now
or
called
what
are
a
fourth-tier.
They
don't
omit
hardly
any
carbon
emissions,
they
use
less
fuel,
it's
just
smart
to
do
it
and,
as
far
as
irrigation
we're
using
its
emitting
less
water
per
acre.
So
we're
still
watering
the
crop
properly.
But
there's
not
as
much
evaporation
going
on
is.
A
C
Retyped
a
lot
of
irrigation
equipment
and
also
the
new
equipment
that
comes
along
is
retyped,
so
there's
a
lot
of
new
technology
that
we
use.
We
also
have
grass
waterways
as
well
that
helped
to
stop
the
nutrients
from
going
in
streams
and
into
the
bay
it's
things
like
that,
so
that
a
lot
of
that
has
happened
in
the
last
10
years,
as
we
can
track
with
computers,
what's
happening
and
kind
of
keep
track
of
what
we're
doing.
A
C
There
are
certain
things,
of
course:
we
can't
grow
in
our
area
and
we
try
to
focus
on
the
local
crops
that
grow
well
in
our
region,
but
on
the
Delmarva
Peninsula,
a
lot
of
things
grow
well,
so
we
have
such
great
soil
there
too
sandy
loam
soil.
It
it
drains
very
well.
So
if
we
get
a
heavy
rain,
we
can
still
get
back
on
the
ground
a
day
or
two
later
and
it's
flat,
there's
not
a
lot
of
rocks
and
soil.
C
So
it's
it's
a
great
place
to
farm,
because
you
know
you
don't
have
the
hills
to
deal
with,
and
it's
just
a
wonderful
soil
and
the
most
important
thing
is.
We
have
water
there.
So
we
have
wells
and
surface
water
that
we
can
pump
from
and
make
sure
that
if
you
don't
have
water,
you
can't
really
grow
fruits
and
vegetables.
I.
Think.
A
In
the
back
of
the
farm,
there
was
a
there
is
a
lake
or
a
pond
or
something
that
was
in
the
back.
I.
Remember
because
I
think
that
your
property
butts
against
a
property
of
somebody
that
I
know
from
Delaware,
so
I
thought
it
was
pretty
neat
when
I
went
there,
that
I
felt
part
of
the
family
in
directly
from
knowing
family
that
lives
next
to
the
farm.
So
I
found
it
very
special
being
on
that
trip
as
well
I
think
when
we
talk
about
you
know
the
different
things
you
shared
with
us.
A
C
It's
a
good
memory.
We
all
of
the
new
Apple
waters
planted
by
farmers.
These
days
are
smaller,
so
workers
can
reach
the
fruit
easier
and
you
and
again
outputs.
You
don't
need
to
spray
a
tree
five
times
the
size
of
these
so
they're.
What
they're
called
high-density
planning
so
there's
a
lot
more
trees
per
acre,
they're
a
little
more
expensive
to
put
the
orchard
in
up
front
because
you're
purchasing
more
trees
and
a
lot
of
times,
they're
all
wires
and
trellis.
C
A
E
A
So
that
would
keep
it
in.
Thankfully,
where
we
are
right.
We
don't
have
too
much
of
that,
but
there
are
high
winds
off
and
right
and
then
probably
even
in
the
winter
time,
do
you
have
to
worry
about
Nor'easters
coming
in
and
that
could
even
damage,
probably
some
of
the
trees
in
offseason.
That's.
C
A
About
your
you
pick
business
I
know
when
we
were
there,
I
think
there's
blueberry
crops
where
they
blueberry
I.
Think
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
I
know?
If
you
go
to
your
website
and
maybe
even
share
your
website
or
we
could,
you
know
we'll
put
it
up
on
the
screen.
It's
just
a
great
way,
I
think
for
somebody
watching
have
a
field
trip
and
come
out
to
the
farm
and
see
it
and
actually
be
able
to
pick
some
of
your
own
fruits
or
vegetables.
Yes,.
C
During
the
week
we
have
educational
fun
activities
for
them
to
do
like
a
corn
maze
with
educational
type
things,
and
we
have,
of
course,
just
fun
stuff
too,
but
they
do
learn
about
the
farm
and
they
get
to
come
out
on
the
farm
and
usually
when
they
come
with
the
school
they
bring
their
parents
during
the
weekend
because
they
enjoy
it
so
much,
but
we
wait
along
with
those
activities.
We
have
you
pick
throughout
the
year
in.
D
A
C
A
Interesting
because
I
think
exactly
what
we
do
in
the
schoolhouse
you're
doing
on
the
farm,
so
we
feel
when
they
come
through
our
service
line
and
we
provide
all
the
great
fruits
and
vegetables
that
we
do.
They
get
excited
about
it.
We
know
they
consume
more
fruits
and
vegetables
and
we
know
they're
healthier
for
it
and
really
they're
fueled
and
ready
to
learn
and
that's
our
goal.
In
the
schoolhouse
same
thing:
they
go
to
the
farm.
They
get
to
see
where
it's
grown.
A
D
A
A
C
Main
products
in
the
spring
we
have
asparagus
and
strawberries
that
we
grow.
Those
are
our
two
big
crops
and
then
in
the
summer
we
go
to
peaches
and
sweet
corn
and
then,
if
all
we
have
pumpkins
apples,
Brussels
sprouts
and
kale
is
what
we
do
so
a
little
bit
for
each
season
that
helps
our
labor.
Keep
our
labor
busy
throughout
the
seasons.
I
think.
A
The
great
part
for
that
Kurt
is
that
we
serve
almost
all
of
those
things
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools.
So
it's
nice
that
we
know
we
can
purchase
local
and
I
know.
Strawberries
often
come
from
you
I
think
asparagus
we're
going
to
try
for
the
first
time
coming
from
you.
So
it's
really
great
to
have
the
partnership
in
the
connection
that
we
have
that
we
were
able
to
know
our
farm
farmer
and
know
the
great
work
that
pfeiffer
orchards
does.
So.
A
A
You
can
see
eating
healthy,
is
really
important
to
us
in
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
healthy
students,
healthy
schools
and
we
always
cultivate
communities
of
wellness.
We
have
many
partnerships,
not
only
with
our
vendors,
but
with
our
farmers,
we're
able
to
go
and
work
on
the
farm
or
see
what
their
farmers
are
doing
and
select
the
perfect
foods
and
fruits
and
vegetables
for
your
children
each
and
every
day.
