🌿 At Aprendizes, guided by the SDGs, we are dedicated to providing nutritious, sustainable meals for our entire school community. Our menu is a harmonious blend of organic, local, and seasonal delights, crafted meticulously. 🥦 Our suppliers, all within a 100km radius of Lisbon, prioritize organic, bulk, and fresh production.
This commitment to local sourcing was beautifully highlighted last weekend when our kitchen team attended the 'Back to the Land' event at Herdade de São Luís. Building strong relationships with our suppliers is essential, and visiting and interacting with them is invaluable. This visit allowed us to see firsthand the dedication to sustainable farming that supports our mission. Supporting local, sustainable agriculture is crucial for our children's health and our community's well-being. 🌱
In our school refectory, we bring these sustainable principles to life by offering delicious meals that narrate the journey from plantation to table. Upholding strict hygiene and safety standards, we cater to different dietary needs, providing daily vegetarian alternatives, all examined by our nutritionist. 🍽️
But our commitment doesn't stop at providing meals. Beyond nourishing bodies, Aprendizes enriches minds by empowering students from preschool to secondary school with nutritional insights to ensure informed food choices. Students gain hands-on experience through engagement in the vegetable garden, cooking classes, and kitchen collaborations, integrating sustainable practices into their daily lives.
