Harvest of the Month
School disricts across Wisconsin see the benefits of reconnecting with local farmers to provide some of the food for their meal programs. Depending on the amount of fresh prep. kitchen staff currently do and the availability of local food, this can either be a small or a large challenge. A successful model for getting started with a farm-to-school program is Harvest of the Month. By choosing one locally-available item to highlight each month, schools can begin to develop purchasing relationships with local farms, test out new recipes in the kitchen, and introduce new items to students.
