Last Wednesday was our final time visiting the MNIC school. We started out by making posters about what consumers looked for when buying microgreens.  The students split into groups of 3 to 4 and created posters that discussed product quality, customer service, price, source, benefits, and production methods.  We then had a Chef E. from Big E's Soul Food come in to discuss what he looks for when buying microgreens.  We had the students prepare questions to ask Chef E. during his presentation.


Chef E. loved talking about the importance of microgreens at his restaurant.  He praised the students for how great the microgreens looked and was very interested in purchasing microgreens from the students on a weekly basis.   

Here, a student is negotiating a price for his tray of microgreens with Chef E.

Working at the MNIC has been a great experience for Tiereny, Jenny, and I. We have loved working with the students and teaching them about horticulture. Hopefully, we will be able to come back again.
