Project Tomato is an affordable way to help bring local ingredients into children’s lunches AND you don’t even have to leave your house to help make this happen!

​

In May of 2018 we will had at 50 determinate tomato plants who found a home.  Once the fruit was ripe these healthy tomatoes were dropped off to be stored for the sauce making. We purchased additional organic Romas from Gitto Farms of Watertown. There was enough sauce to get through 2019-2020!

​

During the summer of 2020 the community came through with tomatoes! We had a handful of community members grow plants we bought from Sprouting Acres Organic Farm and give us the bounty. To make up the difference community members were so gracious to donate their own tomatoes. We had almost twice the amount we produced last time! Janice, the Food Service Director, and her husband made over

55 gallons of Signature Pizza Sauce for school lunches!
