The Hinton area is a more concentrated fruit and vegetable growing area, and Carolyn works directly with many growers in her community to get local produce for their school program. In September 2007, Watermelon Mania was a fun activity done with high school students through their Home Economics Class. The Farm to School administrator discussed health and nutrition with the students and the entire class learned cutting ideas and made fabulous healthy watermelon recipes made from locally grown watermelons. Watermelon salsa, watermelon breakfast parfaits, and watermelon fruit smoothies were among the favorites.
