Assignment: Farm to Table Crops/Livestock Project

Farm to Table Crops/Livestock Project Description:

As part of your Crop and Soil Management class you will be graded on your ability to plan a seasonally appropriate meal and harvest, clean, and prepare one dish for our 2021 Agroecology Summer Intensive Celebration Dinner guests.

• Planning process
  • Group Discussion [10 pts]: As a group we will plan out what we can/want to make on the whiteboard.
    • Due: Friday, July 30th 4:00PM

Grading: This will be a participation grade. [0=did not participate; 5=minimal engagement; 10=mildly engaged; 15=fully engaged]

• Schedule [10 pts]: From our list of items we are making for the dinner, and the recipes that we have found, the class will create a work flow schedule. What can be made ahead of time? What needs to be done last minute? Who is doing what when? This can be on a white board or a google document, depending on the group's preferences.
  • Due: Tuesday, August 3rd 5:00PM

Grading:

• Each dish included in the schedule [2 pts.]
