The Student Farm is happy to announce that we will be hosting the fourth annual Plant Powered PSU on Thursday, October 27 from 5-8 pm, at St. Paul’s Methodist Church in downtown State College. Guests should enter the church lobby from E. Calder Way–look for the large mural on the building, and the entry is to the left of that. This is an open house-style event, so stop in at any time throughout the evening!
Plant Powered PSU is an event intended to give the campus and community insight into plant-based food and meals. There will be food samples, activities and educational stations to teach participants about plant-based food options and the environmental and health impacts that eating habits have. Some highlights include:
- Prize drawings for gift cards and plant-based meal kits
- Milk and cookies table: sample different plant-based milks alongside vegan, gluten-free cranberry oatmeal cookies
- Make your own smoothie with our smoothie bicycle
- Try cozy fall foods like warm soups and stews, and hearty grain salad
- Sample faux meats–have you ever wondered how real a fake meatball actually tastes? You can try it here!
Students from several organizations, including Eco Action, EcoReps, Student Nutrition Association, HealthWorks and Student Farm Club will be on hand to talk about the nutritional and environmental benefits of plant-based meals. The event is made possible thanks to generous donations from Giant Food Stores, Webster’s Bookstore Café, Nature’s Pantry and Wegmans.
The event is intended for anyone who has ever been curious about what some of the many meat alternatives actually taste like or about how to prepare simple plant-based meals that are quick, delicious and affordable.
We look forward to seeing you, any time on Thursday evening, to learn about plant-based food options and the health and environmental impacts of eating habits!
