2006 Golden Carrot Awards

Irmgard James, food service director of Oak Grove School in Ojai, Calif., took top prize this year in PCRM’s 2006 Golden Carrot Awards, thanks to her school’s creative all-vegetarian menu. Not only does James offer the students a daily salad bar with raw and steamed vegetables, along with fresh fruit platters standing in for dessert, but she also helps students grow and harvest produce in the school’s own organic garden and orchard. James won $1,500; the school will receive $3,500. Four second-place prizes went to food service professionals in Albuquerque, N.M.; Atlanta, Morristown, N.J.; and Pinellas County, Fla. The Golden Carrot Awards receive significant media coverage in several major media markets, drawing increased attention to the issue of school cafeteria nutrition.
