School of Roots was started two years ago by a group of middle school students in an alternative education program at the Herring Gut Learning Center. They recently added a new product to their line: Tilapia. In late November, they packed 45 whole Tilapia on ice and delivered them to the nearest fish processing facility – their next-door neighbors, Port Clyde Fresh Catch.
