Previously only available to private groups, Highland Springs Resort is now open to the public.  Once there you can start by exploring the extensive grounds and organic farm, go hiking on the many trails, sit under the 1,000 year old oak tree, attend one of the free health oriented seminars, or try your hand at archery.  With the special package deals offered for dinner and and lodging, you can just stay the night in one of their cozy rooms.

After a fun day filled with activities, you can mosey on over to the Grand Oak Steakhouse and Bar to order lunch or dinner.  Get ready for a treat that can only happen when you cook together premium organic ingredients into a freshly cooked meal that offers an experience in every bite.  Chefs just walk outside to the organic farm right on the property to pick fresh produce each day, and work with other local organic farmers to procure only the very best ingredients.  It has been tradition for the Highland Spring Resort staff to make sure visitors and guests receive the best they can offer.  They want you to leave with special memories and a desire to return again soon.

Once every two weeks you will be able to pick up your produce box filled with a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables most all organic, and many for local farmers.  Jei Roberts and Mona Beck work hard to bring the best quality and variety at a price that anyone can afford.  You have two choices for the location to pick up your organic produce box for under $25.  There is a one time set up fee of $10 which pays for itself on the first box with shopping time saved.  Read more.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- For three years, Chef Mark Baida has fed LAUSD children at his Tasters Café, taste testing foods a bit foreign to them, yet providing vital feedback, as only the most popular items make it on the school menu.



"Accumulating the data, talking to the customers, seeing what sparks what doesn't spark, and where I can push the limits a little bit," Baida said.

"We've been eating the same thing since elementary, so to have a new menu is like, it's exciting," said Marleene Reyes, a junior at Esteban E. Torres High School.

The new healthy meals is a big a part of "I'm In," a new LAUSD program raising awareness on obesity, exercise and school attendance.

"The pledge is to do the right thing. Character building, as well as getting in school, staying in school and graduating," David Binkle, LAUSD deputy director of food service.

Baida's menu exceeds USDA dietary guidelines. Foods are low in fat, calories, sodium, with nothing canned or frozen.

It's pretty creative stuff when you realize a school meal costs under $1, and they feed 650,000 children daily.

Other new favorites on the menu include Ancho chile chicken with yakisoba noodles, Pad Thai, posole and roasted vegetable tamales with no lard or chicken fat. Through his prodding and their input, he's expanded their culinary culture.

"We're breaking through with over 60 items to this menu right now, and everything is new," Baida said.

The five-year campaign is supported by a portion of a government grant and a handful of food manufacturers making costs more efficient by using ad dollars to promote "I'm In" in retail stores.

There is also collateral for kids like T-shirts and trading cards, and backpack stuffers for parents as well.

"We'll start to see in October billboards, bus stop advertising, and it really is a focus of trying to make sure the community understands that we're all in," Binkle said.

The program starts with food service but will expand into other areas of school. They ultimately want kids to say, "I'm in for healthy eating," "I'm in for exercise," and the big one, "I'm in for graduation."
