🍅🧄🫛🧅🍋 2026 Healthy Dinner 🍋🧅🫛🧄🍅

We had a wonderful time at our Healthy Dinner Program, where students rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on experience in the kitchen!

Working alongside Chef Griggs, students learned new cooking skills and helped prepare a delicious, healthy meal featuring locally sourced ingredients for butternut squash soup, lemon-herb roasted chicken, sautéed spaghetti squash noodles, and a green and romano bean medley.

The fun didn’t stop in the kitchen! Each family went home with ingredients and recipes to recreate the meal together, bringing healthy cooking skills from our program straight to their dinner tables.

A big thank you to sjdcculinary and Chef Griggs, all of the volunteers, and everyone who helped make this program a success! We love inspiring the next generation to explore fresh ingredients, build confidence in the kitchen, learn about San Joaquin County agriculture, and discover that healthy eating can be delicious!

What an incredible night at the 31st Annual Taste of San Joaquin! 🍷🌾

Thank you to all of our amazing vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and guests who joined us last night to celebrate agriculture and support the SJFB Foundation for Agricultural Education. From delicious local food and w**e to our exciting silent and live auctions, the evening was a wonderful success because of this community’s generosity and support.

Funds raised from the event will go directly toward student scholarships, 4-H & FFA grants, and agricultural education programs throughout San Joaquin County.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible and look forward to seeing you again next year!
