Podcast: Harvest Feast at Adams Township Schools
September 26, 2025 | By Emilie Jacques
Amanda Andress, Farm-to-School Coordinator and English Teacher at Adams Township Schools joins the Copper Shores Podcast to talk about the district’s upcoming Harvest Feast on Saturday, October 4, 2025, all of the hard work that students have put in, and the school garden project that started it all.
In 2024, Adams Township Schools joined Copper Shores’ Farm-to-School Pilot Program to further explore the barriers that stop local foods from entering local school cafeterias. Students of all ages had a hand in making the school garden, from creating and cutting garden bed planks, to harvesting produce. To celebrate their hard work and diligence, Adams Township Schools invites community members to join them for their Harvest Feast on October 4, 2025.
Working closely with local farmers and producers, the Harvest Feast promises a hearty, delicious and fresh turkey dinner, all for free. Guests will be treated to homemade dessert, prepared by students in Jeffer’s culinary class, and have the opportunity to press their own fresh apple cider to take home.
Turkey dinners are served at 4 and 6 p.m. Sign up for a time slot by visiting the Harvest Feast Google Form or by contacting Amanda Andress at andressa@adams.k12.mi.us.
