“Local Foods Abound, All Year‘Round” is a two-year project that will increase usage and consumption of locally and regionally-sourced food products in the Beaufort County Schools Child Nutrition Program and the school-based Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). The project will extend the period during which seasonal, local foods can be prepared and frozen for future use by establishing a permanent processing kitchen and community garden at a repurposed school system facility.
