Celebrate Farm to School Month This October
October is Farm to School Month - a time to eat, learn and celebrate local agriculture throughout Colorado. With the recent expansion of the Local Food Program, there has never been a better time to showcase fresh, Colorado-grown products in your cafeterias. Sponsors can join the celebration on any day throughout the month.
Fun ways to participate:
-
Host a fully local lunch featuring delicious Colorado products.
-
Join the Crunch Off, a fun regional contest challenging Colorado schools to get the most "crunches" into local foods.
-
Organize farm tours or invite a local farmer into the classroom.
-
Educate students outside in your school garden or greenhouse.
Register to receive more information and promotional materials from the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
