Chelsea student Paige Clark and nutrition staff member Stacy Boudreau work together to prepare for the 2019 Maine Farm to School Cook-Off. The competition takes place March 22 at RSU 1's Career and Technical Center in Bath. A school nutrition team member and student pair from each participating district compete to prepare one breakfast and one lunch meal. Each meal must be planned with two local ingredients that are grown, raised, caught or manufactured in Maine as well as one USDA food. Meals will be evaluated based on presentation, taste, creativity and feasibility to be used in a school nutrition program.
