In this week’s field trip, students will visit a school cafeteria (where staff cook real food to compare with what is made in class) as previously arranged by the instructor. Each field trip has been developed to help the student learn, observe, and asses a variety of non commercial institutional operations to examine how local, organic, value-added, sustainable foods, and practices can be incorporated to create sustainable foodservice operations.  Students are asked to observe the management and employee functions of the operation as they relate to the weeks readings. All field trips are required and the schools attendance policy is outlined in the syllabus. Please see the attached field trip handout for additional information.
