On October 10, 1:00 PM, the EcoKids harvested broccoli, green beans, mustard greens and radishes from their fall gardens. We went to the kitchen at the Dream Center and worked for five hours preparing dinner for our families. In addition to the tomatoes, peppers and leeks donated by local organic gardener Jim Carter, we bought four chickens from a farmer who raises them in a fairly natural setting with no chemicals or antibiotics. We used as high a percentage of organic food as possible.

Volunteers Ellie Dawson, Roberta Vogel, Alice Randolph and Andrew Pattison helped all afternoon with the preparation. Wild Oats Community Market, Pisciottas, and the Breadsmith in Brookside donated other foods for the dinner. Table cloths were loaned to us by the Mariott Hotel rather than using paper.
