We all need food to survive, but have you ever thought about where your food comes from? Grocery stores, restaurants, food trucks, and cafeterias all have to get the food you purchase from somewhere. Farmers fill this role bringing food from the field to the table.
Today you will track food from the fields to the farmers market to your food truck.

Step 3: Every food truck needs a signature dish. Create a recipe that will be the feature item on the menu. Don't forget to list all your ingredients and consider where they come from.
Step 4: Food trucks have their own style and image. This creates an identifiable brand for the business and sends a message about their food. Design a logo, unique name, and color scheme for your food truck. Don't forget to encourage the farm to food truck concept.
Step 5: Create your signature item and show off your food truck design with logo, menu, and slogan on social media using #MakerMondayTN
and #LearningInPlaceTN!
