Plant Based Food Banquet

On Friday we took 47 kids from the Arataki School Garden club to Arataki Community Centre where Frances and her team from ‘Plant Based Food’ were waiting for us.  

They made us a three course lunch with food from our own garden!

Kale Chips

Pumpkin and Kumera Balls

Carob Pie

The food was so yummy and the children learnt how to cook everything. We’ve heard some of the kids and parents had a fun weekend baking afterwards.

The kids enjoyed it so much that at the end the boys decided to do a haka to say thank you, which bought Whaea Clare to tears.

This is what it’s all about – growing and eating our own food, learning and appreciating as we go, and bringing our whanau and community closer together.

Thank you so much Frances and team, the time and energy you gave us was a great gift and one that has made a big difference.
