ABOUT THE EPISODE
On this episode I meet with Jenny DeVivo, head chef and cafeteria director for the up-Island regional school district (West Tisbury School and Chilmark School). Jenny is not your average “lunch lady,” and has made it her mission to source local food for the schools’ daily lunches.
Join me as I learn more about Jenny’s innovative and inspiring approach. Jenny has instituted systems with local farmers, fishermen, restaurants, and charities to bring real local food to our Islands school children. She produces over 500 locally sourced scratch meals every day out of a very small kitchen. We talk about food insecurity, farming, education, and much more.
“Educational based food service is a doable option which I truly believe people should embark on across the nation.”
