In January, Sacramento Food Bank & Family
Services (SFBFS)’ Demonstration Garden team planted wheat to harvest for summer
gardening classes. Six months later the wheat was ready to harvest and be used
to make dough.
Last week, SFBFS’ Garden
class attendees were able to learn and join the process of creating their own dough out
of wheat.
The dough was then used to make a fresh pizza using ingredients
straight from the SFBFS Demonstration Garden. Check out the photos below of the
process!
