CACC Culinary adds to Harvest Hootenanny success


Preparing food for 1000 people is no easy task, especially when ingredients are all local and prepared from scratch. That is where CACC Culinary students and instructors come in. The week preceding the Center for Urban Agriculture's Harvest Hootenanny (CCUA), Columbia Area Career Center was buzzing with busy hands chopping locally grown vegetables, peeling apples and yes, butchering chickens. The CCUA garden and chickens were raised for this event. Students learned first hand the art of chicken processing; from slaughtering, plucking feathers and eviscerating to fabricating, cooking and serving, career center students were present at each step of the way.
