AGRICULTURE COLLABORATION On Thursday, Wurtland Middle School agriculture students worked with Kristen from Appalachian Folkology. Students learned how to create a herbal tea, as well as talking through some key points of product marketing and presentation. Students broke into teams and worked on herbal tea creation, preparing packaging, cutting labels, weighing and packaging, and sealing and pricing. While the class worked through tea creation, Kristen spoke about the importance of sanitary blending and packaging procedures, such as the use of clean hands, clean gloves, and hairnets. The class also got a brief lesson about the importance of correct labeling and cautions about cross contamination between different herbs and teas. Thank you, Appalachian Folkology!
