This week at the farm, we focused on harvesting bottleneck squash, planting seeds, and creating an organic, veggie-friendly pizza we lovingly call “Squizza”.
A main lesson we have at the farm is anything harvested, must be replaced by new seeds. So while half of our classes harvested the squash, the other half was able to sow seeds for new vegetables to grow.
After we finished in the farm, we made our way to the kitchen where our friends put together our Squizza. After washing our hands, we began by chopping the squash in thin circles and placed them at the bottom of a wide pan. Next, we chopped up our CMP-grown tomatoes, sprinkled on organic mozzarella on one half of our squizza, and layered uncured, all-natural pepperoni on the other half. For finishing touches, we chopped up CMP-grown basil, covered the whole thing!
In our outdoor kitchen we are lucky enough to have a pizza oven. While the oven pre-heated, our classes took a couple of laps around the soccer field and fed the chickens some leftover squash. After about 5 minutes, our stovetop pizza was ready to try!
Everyone had the chance to sample a bit of everything. Some friends were absolutely thrilled with the outcome, while others were less enthusiastic about certain ingredients. Nevertheless, it was another successful day in our ongoing adventure of food exploration and farm-to-table experiences!
