On April 22nd the culinary department
celebrated Earth Day by opening up the greenhouse to begin planting!
Executive Chef, Jeremy Derango went to a local nursery to pick out
herbs, tomato plants, pepper plants, and more to use
in the kitchen. Servers with a green thumb came to work early to help
with the planting process and learned about how each plant would be used
in our kitchen. Chef Jeremy also partnered again this year with a local
farm called The Green Earth Institute to
source locally grown crops to use in dishes on our menu daily.
Residents are so excited to hear about the new produce he picks up each
week and always have their eye out for the green lettering on our menus
to show our foods from our greenhouse and farm!
