  • Experience Nutrition: Inspired by Alice Waters & The Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California

    By Melanie Albert, Founder & CEO, Experience Nutrition. Nutrition and food expert, author and speaker. Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Holistic Nutrition and Whole Food Cooking Instructor at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts.

    This week during our Whole Food S.O.U.L. (Seasonal Organic Unprocessed Local) Cooking Class at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona, I shared one of my favorite quotes which is totally in-sync with way I cook and teach intuitive cooking with real whole foods.

    Enjoy the quote from Alice Waters, organic food activist and writer and founder of the Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California, which is the model of edible education for youth gardening and cooking programs across the USA. Click here to learn more about The Edible Schoolyard Project.

    I am also very inspired by Alice Waters overall philosophy, which is showcased at The Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley.

    Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a few months in Berkeley and enjoyed peaceful quiet time at the Edible Schoolyard at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School.

  • Alice Waters, The Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley

    “We can participate in the preservation of both the land and our health by buying directly from local farmers at farmers’ markets, asking for organic produce at our grocers, and requiring food labeling that is explicit about how it is grown.” – Alice Waters, The Art of Simple Food II

    I totally embrace the food philosophies of Alice Waters, and have had the pleasure to spend time at the more than incredible Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California. Founded in 1996, it’s a one-acre garden and classroom where students are given the knowledge and values to make food choices that are healthy for them, their communities, and the environment. Will definitely post photos of this beautiful school garden.
