Have you ever eaten from a food truck? Ever wonder where that truck GETS its food?
Join this year's Purple Plow Summer Challenge!
Challenge your students to come up with a food truck concept and menu and then track back where each ingredient comes from!

Your prototype must address the following needs:
-
Track where the food for your menu comes from.
-
Provide a cost analysis for food items.

Creation of a budget for all items needed for the menu.
-
Providing an analysis of the farm to food truck journey for all ingredients in one menu item.
