True Food Taste Tests are currently on hold due to COVID-19. We look forward to bringing back our taste testing tradition when it's safe to do so! In the meantime, we hope our students will continue to be adventurous taste testers.
With support from The Wedge and Linden Hills Co-op, MPS Culinary & Wellness Services began our True Food Taste Tests in 2013. Since then, we have taste tested a variety of recipes featuring local ingredients and world flavors! Here's a look back at some of our recent taste test :

Community volunteers play an important role in the True Food Taste Tests! Taste Test volunteers help in school cafeterias to prepare samples, distribute them to students, and generate excitement for these taste tests! The taste tests happen over three days and volunteers can select which day(s) of the taste test they would like to help. Volunteer shifts take place during lunchtime, typically between 10:00am and 1:30pm. If you are interested in volunteering for a taste test in the future, please email farm2school@mpls.k12.mn.us to be added to our volunteer contact list.
