Art and Nutrition Students Collaborate on Farm Fresh Recipes for Scranton Community

Eight new Farm Fresh Recipes are now available on the Co-Op Farmer's Market of Scranton website thanks to an interdisciplinary service-learning project connecting Marywood University's Art and Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Science departments.

Coordinated by Associate Professor Sue Jenkins of the Art Department, the project brought together students with different areas of expertise to create a resource for the local community.

Students in Professor Emily Wargo's Community Nutrition course developed healthy recipes, while students in Jenkins' courses used their web design skills to add the recipes to the Co-Op Farmer's Market website. The collaboration gave students the opportunity to apply their classroom learning to a real-world project while supporting a local organization.

Jenkins spent several months coordinating the effort, bringing together the two departments and working with the market to make the recipes available to the greater Scranton community.

The eight Farm Fresh Recipes can be found on the Co-Op Farmer's Market of Scranton website.

Congratulations to Professors Jenkins and Wargo and all the students who contributed their time and talents to this project!
