A new greenhouse is under construction at Jonesport-Beals High School, but school officials and eager volunteers hope to offer students and faculty more than what comes out of the soil. Superintendent Lewis Collins told the high school board Aug. 22 that he envisions lobster and crab rolls, clam chowder in February and a continuous salad bar. It is all part of what he styles a “fresh food initiative”, and is envisioned to not only promote healthy eating, but to also bolster the local economy by purchasing what it produces.
