In our ongoing commitment to providing healthy and delicious meals for our students, the Ignacio School District’s food service team recently took a field trip to Kerrigan’s Farm, where they picked up fresh roasted green chiles! This exciting initiative not only supports local agriculture, but also enriches our students’ dining experience with fresh, vibrant flavors. 

After returning to the kitchen, our dedicated team cleaned and prepared the chiles, transforming them into a homemade sauce that perfectly complements our meals. They also thoughtfully bagged and froze the remaining chiles, ensuring that we can incorporate this local goodness into future dishes. 

Last week, our students were treated to delicious homemade bean and cheese burritos topped with the freshly made green chile sauce. The smiles on their faces said it all! 

Our food service team works tirelessly throughout the school year to create nutritious, tasty meals that fuel our students for success. By using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, we are not only promoting healthy eating habits, but also fostering a connection to our community. 

We’re proud of our food service team and their efforts to provide the best for our students. Thank you for supporting our mission to serve great meals and for encouraging our young learners to appreciate wholesome, local foods!
