Summer camp is in full swing at Rose Rock School, and with it we welcome back some alumni “big kids” and siblings. Outdoor projects, water days and lots of gardening in the hot sunshine will fill our summer months. A new summer menu, including harvests from our garden, will be filling our bellies as well!
In May we said a bittersweet good-bye to our dear chef, Alicia Collins, and her family. Alicia spent the past two and a half years with us imbuing the kitchen and meals with a bit of humor and a lot of love.
Her family has moved on to a new chapter in their lives and we have welcomed “Grandma Ann” as our new Head Chef. Ann has been with us for nearly two years as well, assisting Alicia in the kitchen. She is a most humble and talented cook, especially good at including our small garden harvests and adding a touch of comfort to the food that only a Grandma could.
We would now like to introduce the new summer menu, courtesy of Grandma Ann. All of the food at Rose Rock School is organic and local, when possible, and most of it is homemade from scratch. Our chicken and eggs come from pasture-raised hens. This spring’s garden has provided us with an array of vegetables that have been lovingly prepared for our meals, including rainbow chard, turnips, broccoli, kale, collard greens, radishes, spring onions, lettuce and a variety of herbs.
