Each day before heading to the woods, Biltmore Forest School students stopped at the commissary for a quick lunch that might have included hoop cheese, pork and beans, or canned peaches. The open area around the store was a great place to play horseshoes, baseball or football while they waited for the mail to arrive with news from home.
