Audrey Barnes (MID ’11) | Lil’ Rhody Native Program

In an effort to showcase some of the Graduate Thesis Projects being presented this week, we’re starting off with Audrey Barnes (MID ’11).

The Lil’ Rhody Native program is aimed at 4th and 5th graders throughout Rhode Island. The kit is received 4 times per year, once every season. It filled with a selection of local agricultural products, information about the farms where the food comes from, and recipes on how to cook it with your family. Additionally, each kit contains a poster with fun information about ecological systems and what foods are growing locally right now. Each seasonal poster connects with the next in the series and the colorful box can be turned into a small window garden.
