Kitchen Garden Fall Harvest (White House, Washington, D.C.) - mid-October

from blog here in Google Blogger (Obama Food-o-rama):

First Lady Michelle Obama's 2010 Fall Harvest of the Kitchen Garden was a full-circle experience in the critical links of the food chain. On Wednesday afternoon, joined by thirty fifth graders from Bancroft and Tubman Elementary Schools and a handful of acclaimed guest chefs, Mrs. Obama led a veggie-gathering extravaganza in the 1,500 square foot garden, which included harvesting the first-ever presidential pumpkins. The kids also got a lesson in food preservation, with a garden-side pickling class from Executive Pastry Chef Bill Yosses. That was followed by a fresh feast, as the kids and chefs dined, family style, on the very fresh produce, also garden side. Throughout, the kids heard about why what they were experiencing was not only special, but vitally important!
