Governor Cooper has proclaimed October 2021 as Farm to School and Early Care and Education Month in North Carolina. The Governor encourages kids and adults to taste and learn about North Carolina grown produce for the N.C. Crunch and to recognize and thank all those who contribute to feeding our kids and communities – from farmers, farm workers, and food hub distributors, to school and early care nutrition professionals, educators, garden coordinators, bus drivers, and transportation professionals.
Thousands of schools, early care and education sites, farms, communities and organizations across the country will celebrate National Farm to School Month. For more information on Farm to School Month, visit the National Farm to School Network website.
