"Made in Manitoba" breakfast...

Students at Taylor School were treated to a "Made in Manitoba" breakfast last Friday morning. The Made in Manitoba Breakfast program (MIMB) travels across Manitoba feeding breakfast to students and connecting them to where their food comes from. The entire student body enjoyed a Made in Manitoba Breakfast cooked by teachers and volunteers, and served by Manitoba Producers from various sectors. What was on the menu you ask? Flax pancakes, canola margarine and oil, hard boiled eggs, pork sausage, honey, and of course, all were washed down with wholesome chocolate milk.
Before breakfast, students took part in an educational presentation where they explored the agricultural industry. They discovered where their food comes from, and that agriculture produces a lot of non-food products that they use everyday. Students were also introduced to local producers and industry representatives, and had a chance to interact with these producers as they went through the food line.  It was truly an agricultural  event from beginning to end.
