Produce stand brings nutrition to school
When school let out at Peralta Elementary Tuesday, there wasn’t a rush for the exits. Instead, curious children lined up for 25-cent plums while their parents browsed through leafy greens and handled firm, shiny eggplants.
It was the inaugural day of the new weekly produce stand at the school in Oakland’s Rockridge district.
“The 25-cent table is a big hit,” said School Wellness Coordinator Christopher Waters, standing by a row of halved plums.
