Donegal School named this year’s National ‘Incredible Edibles’ champion!

written by Staff Writer June 25, 2022

A Donegal school is celebrating after they won first prize in the ‘Incredible Edibles’ primary schools’ horticulture and healthy eating programme, run by Agri Aware.

Ms Conneely’s third class, from Creevy National School in Ballyshannon, showcased their creative food journey in a scrapbook and submitted the best end-of-year project to secure top spot in the nationwide schools’ programme.

The Donegal children blew the judges away with the scale and quality of their work. 

They completed all five tasks; food origin, identifying Irish, planting, cooking and healthy eating, to an impeccable standard.

They showcased a range of biodiversity measures by protecting bees, and composting during the Incredible Edibles programme.

Ms Conneely’s class enjoyed the “Meet the Farmer” in-class webinars hosted by Agri Aware and project sponsors.

The Agri Aware Incredible Edibles programme ran from January to June and had its largest ever participation this year. There were over 76,000 children from 1800 schools across the country that took part.

The third-class pupils from Creevy NS are now ready to harvest and eat some of the fruit and vegetables they have grown in school as part of the programme. All schools who participate in the interactive Agri Aware programme get free grow packs so they can plant, grow and harvest their own fruit and vegetables.

At a time when there is a growing disconnect from where our food originates, the Agri Aware Incredible Edibles programme helps children learn all about how food gets to their plates while growing their own fruit, vegetables and herbs too.

Eilis Greene, Programme and Events Manager of Agri Aware said:

“Well done to all at Creevy National School, their entry for this year’s Incredible Edibles Programme was quite simply one of the best we have come across.

“The programme has been running for 14 years and continues to grow with this year’s intake of schools the highest ever.

“The growth of the programme is thanks in no small part to our fifteen sponsors who have been brilliant in how they support the initiative every year.”
