The Back Story: Riverbend Malt House has been working with Austin Farms, in Old Fort, to recycle their waste material from the malting process. The waste is a mix of rootlets and thin kernels that are removed from the malted barley. This “waste” is rich in protein and other nutrients, making it an ideal food for livestock. This partnership allows Riverbend to recycle over 80% of the total waste from their operation every year! A large portion of the ticket sales will go back to support FEAST.
The mission of FEAST Asheville is to empower youth and families to grow, prepare and enjoy fruits and vegetables through hands on cooking and garden education.With the 2015-16 school year nearly over FEAST reports many highlights of their efforts:
- FEAST started at Hall Fletcher Elementary and received great support as Rachel transitioned into the role of the FEAST Educator
- FEAST and The ROOTS Foundation created a great partnership and have been working tirelessly together at Vance Elementary to turn this site into an edible schoolyard
- The FEAST Team is just finishing up a 3 year strategic plan and are excited about the future
- 2 FEAST teachers will be sent to the National Edible Schoolyard Conference in California
- FEAST successfully completed a pilot project at Isaac Dickson Elementary School with the 4th and 5th grade and looking forward to what happens next
