The NC Crunch, from the
Farm to School Coalition of NC, is designed to celebrate agriculture, nutrition and farm to school. The NC Farm to School Cooperative is sponsoring a contest to recognize NC schools and early care and education sites for their promotion of fruits and vegetables grown in our state during October. First through third place will be awarded with prizes of $250, $150 and $100 gift cards. To find celebration ideas, sign up for the NC Crunch and receive an event guide, go to
