Girls on the Run

On Saturday, November 27, the Flying Carrot 'flew' down to Venetucci Farm for the Girls on the Run 5K Race. What a fun event! Similar to the Waldo 5K, we prepared for cold weather bringing warm soup and biscuits, and what do you know it was a hot day! Despite this, the warm winter squash soup and sweet potato biscuits were a hit and enjoyed by all. See the previous posts for the soup and biscuit recipes. Girls on the Run seeks to inspire girls aged 8-13 to be "joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running." What a great experience it was to teach some of the race participants about fueling up for running and other exercise activities. Additionally, not only were we able to educate about eating seasonally and locally, we were able to close the loop and sell winter squash and garlic grown at Venetucci Farm!
