The lines were long in front of the small table in the elementary school cafeteria today. The Lunch Ladies were serving up healthy portions of melons, cheese peppers, Brussels sprouts, spaghetti squash and purple cauliflower. The children were able to take some of the samplings and give something new a try.

Today, food service directors Amy Shaw-Stuart from Cobleskill-Richmondville and Marcy Vanmaucher from Schalmont were serving up the goodies. Middleburgh Food Service Director Barbara Cootware, who will head to school districts in Schoharie and Gilboa in the coming weeks, asked each student to complete a survey that asked four questions:

Did you try a new fruit or vegetable today?
What was it?
Did you like it?
Will you ask to have it at home?

Today's produce was from Barbers, Bohringers and Shauls farms in Middleburgh.
