North Shore Country Market

Mindy Jaffe from Waikiki Worms came to Sunset Beach Elementary School on Wednesday April 5th to help us harvest our mini worm bins we have been feeding for the past 3 months.

We had a great group show up for the harvest including Mrs. Homberg and teachers and staff from Sunset Beach School, NSCM staff and garden volunteers, staff and kids from the afterschool program, and Kim Johnson from the Kokua Foundation.

We did great on our project! We more than doubled the amount of worms we had. We split up the total and had enough to start out big new CAN-O-WORMS that will live at the school and will help in composting school lunch scraps.

There was also over 25 lbs. of rich vermicast (worm castings) to use in the garden.

On Wednesday, NSCM volunteers, and the kids and staff of the Sunset Beach Elementary after school program, harvested their first big batch of lettuce, and enjoyed a big salad bar together. You never saw kid's enjoy their salads so much!

There was so much pride and excitement with all the particants over what we had grown, and the salads were delicious!
