Rising fifth grader Ryan Michael of Starkville tosses a salad with carrots, baby tomatoes and greens. He and more than 25 other third through sixth graders participated this week in the Fun with Food Camp. Designed to show young students how food on their dinner plates makes the trip from the farm to the kitchen, the camp teaches about farm production, meal presentation and skills such as time management, math and reading associated with cooking.
