For many students, this was their very first time trying a mulberry, which made the experience even more exciting. Students kept coming back for more and were so excited to learn that these berries are grown locally right here in our community!
Last week, our team had the opportunity to visit the farm where owner Anil gave us a behind-the-scenes tour and shared how these certified organic mulberries are grown and harvested with care.
Mulberries are small, juicy berries similar to blackberries with a sweet, slightly tart flavor. The deep purple berries are packed with vitamin C, iron, and antioxidants — making them both delicious and nutritious for our students. 🌱
We are so grateful for this partnership with Very Mulberry and the opportunity to bring fresh, local foods directly to our students. Being able to connect students with farms in their own hometown is such a special experience, and we are proud to continue serving our students nothing but the best! #WeAreBUSD

The Healthy School Food Pathway Fellowship is a highly competitive, national program designed for experienced school food professionals who are committed to advancing healthy, sustainable, and scratch-cooked meals in schools. Over the course of 13 months, fellows participate in hands-on learning, leadership development, and collaborative projects that directly benefit their home districts.
As part of the program, fellows also complete coursework through the School Food Institute, which provides in-depth training on scratch cooking, nutrition, operations, and building strong, sustainable school meal programs.
Esther’s selection reflects her passion and dedication to improving school meals for our students. Through this fellowship, she will continue to strengthen her leadership skills and bring innovative ideas back to BUSD that support fresh, nutritious, and high-quality meals for all students.
Please join us in congratulating Esther on this outstanding achievement!
