The City of Pasadena Public Health
Department's Nutrition and Physical Activity Program invites you to celebrate National Food Day with us!
National Food Day is a celebration of healthy, affordable, and sustainably produced food and a grassroots campaign for better food policies. Food Day aims to help people Eat Real. That means cutting back on sugar drinks, overly salted packaged foods, and fatty, factory-farmed meats in favor of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and sustainably raised protein.
Since August, City of Pasadena Public Health Department (PPHD) has collaborated with Muir Ranch to host a weekly farm stand, "Farmers' Corner", on the front patio of PPHD. Community members, PPHD clients and staff are able to purchase fresh and low-price California produce grown by Muir Ranch and other regional farms. All proceeds go to Muir Ranch, a program located on a three-acre farm at John Muir High School in Northwest Pasadena. The program teaches students practical farming and entrepreneurial skills.
On Thursday, October 24th, PPHD will be hosting a large community-wide Food Day Celebration, highlighting the Farmers' Corner.
Festivities will include:
- Healthy food demonstrations by Network for a
Healthy California chefs - Healthy holiday beverages
- Free nutrition resources (cookbooks, healthy Halloween recipes, tip sheets, etc)
- Prizes and games!
