Several Minneota students in Innovative Foods and ProStart Foods participated in several activities to experience the Farm to Table process. Students toured a vineyard, harvested grapes by hand, watched mechanical harvesting and checked the BRIX level in the grapes. The grapes were brought back to school where students destemmed them, pressed the grapes to extract juice, and then made jelly that they could take home and share with their family.
Bretten Coequyt measures out the grape juice and pectin before it must be boiled. The students made both low and full-on sugar jelly. Mascot photo by Scott Thoma
