Welcome 2013
What a a year 2012
was. But before we
recap our past year,
a special thank you
is in order to all of
you, our loyal
supporters who
have made
everything possible.
Thanks to all of you,
The following article is by Grow Benzie
volunteer Bonnie Smith who has been
working with the Platte River
Elementary School this past year.
GROW BENZIE PARTNERSHIP
WITH PLATTE RIVER SCHOOL &
MLUI/FOODCORPS
Driving north through Honor, one
glimpses a garden hoop house, nestled
on the hillside behind Platte River
Elementary School. The structure is a
symbol of an exciting venture between
several organizations - Platte River
School, GrowBenzie, MLUI/FoodCorps
and HARP. A grant secured by Grow
Benzie made it possible to purchase
materials to build the hoop house.
Under the skillful direction of agriculture
consultant, Craig Schaaf, and a
volunteer crew of teachers and Grow
Benzie members, the greenhouse was
handily completed.

donations came in
without a single
request from Grow
Benzie, making this
our best year ever .
It has given us the
foundation to build
off in 2013, to
expand our
programs. What a
wonderful Christmas
present you gave
Grow Benzie! And
thanks so much for
remembering us in
your year end
planning.
Let's talk about
2012 and what
was
accomplished:
* The hoop house at
Platte River
Elementary was
completed. Outreach
programs in
combination with MLUI/
FoodCorps expanded
knowledge of growing
plants through tasting
what was grown in
delicious offerings. (see
main article). We hope
to continue expansion of
this program, both at
Platte River and
beginning at Betsie
Valley Elementary.
Grow Benzie & MLUI/FoodCorps, share
a similar mission leading to the
partnership. Both are dedicated to
enriching the lives of children by
"fostering self-reliance through

* Funding for a
second hoop house,
through collaboration
with MLUI and NCRS,
we were able to secure
funding for a second
hoop house which will
be built at Betsie Valley
Elementary this spring.
Funding for supplies for
both schools was
received from The
Michigan Council of
Foundations.
* Bridge Cards
Accepted at our
Farmers Market
created opportunities
for more people to
receive fresh produce
plus double their buying
power through the
Double Up Food Bucks
program. Grow Benzie
has been promoting this
to reach as many people
as possible and have
assisted in the
administration for other
Farmers Markets.
* Our gardens and
additional 2nd green
house managed to
supply fresh produce for
the food banks even
though all of Michigan
suffered from severe
draught conditions. We
hope for better weather
this year and are
currently interviewing
for a greenhouse

education in agriculture and nutrition ...
and doing so by teaching kids what
healthy food is and where it comes
from." Added to that is Platte River
School, providing the site, the children,
and the teachers to complete this
wonderful undertaking.
FoodCorps volunteers, Kirsten
Gerbatsch and Daniel Marbury, are in
Year Two managing the Platte River
initiative. In late September Kirsten led
6th graders in preparing the soil - both
inside and outside the Hoop House. This
involved measuring the land to make
rows of raised garden beds; tilling the
soil with shovels; aerating it with longforks; digging in special nutrients;
raking the mounds for seeding; placing
hay between & around the beds to
make walkways for gardeners to move
around easily; and finally having 3rd
graders seed the garden beds.
Eureka!! A handsome garden created
in one day by many helping hands.

manager.
* The Garden Partyour major fundraising
event was a huge
success. Enough
money was raised for
our match with the
USDA grant to allow us
to proceed and
complete the incubator
kitchen. The kitchen
will be a multifunctional
facility for diverse use.
It will be available for
people who want to
make a product to
retail, chefs and
caterers, classes in
nutrition and cooking,
and individuals for their
own use.
* The kitchen was
completed this fall
and is the only certified
incubator kitchen in
Northern Michigan.
Currently we are
working to develop the
rules and regulations
needed to run an
operation successfully,
including the programs
to help people create
their own income and
small businesses.
* Classes, classes,
classes. We expanded
classes in all areasagriculture, nutrition,
sewing, crafts, and
building small
businesses. Classes are
3/28/15, 3:45 PM
Every other week students spend time
with Kirsten at the Hoop House,
nurturing their seedlings by weeding
and watering, and learning about all the
things that will make their very own
garden vigorous and its yielding crop
delicious. The kids are amazed how
soon the seedlings began to push
through the soil, and stretch for the
sun.
A week ago they spotted tiny red radish
heads peeking through the soil under
their bushy green tops. Those will be
harvested shortly after Thanksgiving.
Eventually a handsome crop of carrots,
beans, peas, rainbow chard, kale, and
lettuce - among others - will mature.
Outside, cover crops of rye and beans
will nourish the soil with the nitrogen
they give off during the winter months.
By spring, that garden will be ready for
tilling and planting of other vegetables.

Query, and Bonnie Smith worked both
with planting and harvesting to
preparing delicious tastings with the
children. Grow Benzie believes in
introducing children to good foods,
especially ones grown by the children
themselves, to change eating patterns
and instill healthy eating habits early
on.
Inside Platte River School, Daniel
presented 4th - 6th graders with all the
beautiful 'straight-from-the-farm'
produce necessary to make wonderful
taste treats. In Session 1 fourth graders
made salsa from tomatoes, onions,
peppers, garlic, cilantro, herbs and
lemons (from a Florida garden!). The
kids, divided into 4 groups, then cut,
chopped, measured and stirred to
create their own special salsa.
Wonderful scents floated through both
the classroom and corridors. A
'Choose Your Favorite Salsa Contest'
was then held at lunchtime in the
cafeteria. All students in grades K-6 had
the opportunity to 'taste-test' each of
the four salsas with healthy corn chips,
and then vote for their favorite. Salsa
Entry #4 won, and #3 was second
place. The experience - for gardeners,
chefs and tasters alike - was a hit.

------------------More shots of kids
learning how to
grow food and
tasting it.
3/28/15, 3:45 PM
In other sessions, varieties of squash
and beans, - garlic and onions - and
seasonings were prepared by the kids
to create dips, quesadillas, soups and
stews. These were again taste-tested.
Daniel, Kirsten, and the other
volunteers will continue to create
gardening, food preparation and
cooking experiences with kids at Platte
River during the school year. Math,
science, social studies, writing, art, and
other educational elements will be
utilized in the learning process. One of
the best parts will be eating what is
grown and then created in the kitchen.
We hope you'll look forward to our new
stories about the Worm Farm, a Three
Sisters Indian Legend that began well
before settlers arrived in Massachusetts
Bay Colony, as well as the many new
learning experiences that will be offered
to the children at Platte River

Industrial Arts
This program is just in the incubation stage but holds great promise for opportunities for
our youth. Working with Benzie Central High school and several expert wood working
volunteers from the area, plans are afoot for several projects. The industrial arts program
at the school no longer exists but the equipment is there to be utilized. More to come as
we get further down the path on this exciting adventure in developing the skills and talents
of our students.
