Thyme for Homegrown Food
Woodberry Forest School's agricultural pursuits have long been limited to raising beef cattle. But the summer of 2012 has seen an expansion of the tiny herb garden outside the Reynolds Family Dining Room. Food services supervisor Craig Heath has taken on the task of growing not only a large crop of herbs, but also some squash and swiss chard for use in dining hall meals. All of the basil is made into pesto and frozen for pasta salads that are served year-round, and some of the herbs are used as garnishes for the platters served at seated dinners. Everything is grown without pesticides or chemicals. Says Craig, "The whole community benefits not only from the visual appeal of the garden, but also from the flavor and quality of the fresh herbs and vegetables. There is no comparison between fresh and dried herbs."
Woodberry Forest School is an exceptional private school community for high school boys in grades nine through twelve. It is one of the top boarding schools in the United States and one of the only all-boys, all-boarding schools in the country.
