Dirt to Dining: Adobe Acrobat Reader file
This program, created by teachers for teachers, will deliver a unique way to involve your class in getting a real sense and feel for how the people of old Pinellas relied on the land and its bounty for the food on their table. Though most of agricultural Pinellas has disappeared, the tourism industry still relies on food service to sustain the millions of guests that visit the county each year. Seafood, southern cuisine, fast food and ethnic foods from all over the world make up the savory landscape of today’s Pinellas.

Students will have the opportunity to experience life in rural Pinellas of long ago:

  • Helping with the many chores that make a garden grow
  • Bringing their bounty to trade with the store
  • Preparing, cooking and serving up a taste from the past
  • Celebrating a good day’s work with fun and games
