What's Cookin?

Garden crops are ready to harvest! We've got greens, lettuces, strawberries, onions, broccoli, and fava beans galore! Have a taste in the garden before the gophers get it all!

A few weeks ago, 6th graders at Martin Luther King Jr., Middle School made a delicious stir fry with Urban Sprouts' educator Herman Yee. Special thanks to Herman's mom, Eleanor, who helped out too!

First, the Harvest:
Next, the chopping and prepping:

Add some broccoli and purple peas from the garden:

Finally, the secret spices, and you're ready to go!
Delicious! And we enjoyed every bite!
