Healthy School Lunches with Kiddo's founder, Beth Bailey

Friday, on Garden Gossip our guest is founder of Kiddo's Squeezies, Beth Bailey. Beth founded Kiddo's Squeezies as an easy way to get kids to eat more fruits and veggies. Did you know that 90% of American's consume fewer fruits and vegetables than the daily recommended amount? Kiddo's Squeezies is a single serving of delicious, organic fruit/veg in an easy squeeze pouch. Brilliant!
Beth is now having her way with the school lunch program at Howard School in Carpinteria. Parent volunteers, local farmers and chefs come together to give kids real food every day. Find out more when Beth tells all on this week's Garden Gossip show. Friday's at 11am, 9pm and Saturday's at 11am. You can listen live on your mobile device at newspress.com or find past shows anytime on montecitolandscape.com. More on Kiddo's Squeezies here

Greetings from the National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa

Well, this is quite an event. We listened to Alice Waters, of Chez Panisse fame, talk about what led her to seeking out the very best ingredients for her restaurant from local growers. In fact, the man who has been growing the majority of the fruits and vegetables for Chez Panisse for the past 25 years was also in attendance, Bob Cannard of Green String Farm in Petaluma, CA. There is another day of Expo. Much more to come. Until next time, Fill Your Garden With Joy....Lisa and Chris
