Each month in 2024, the Farm to School Coalition of NC will highlight a fruit or vegetable of the month. For May, we are highlighting strawberries! Rich in flavor and nutrients, strawberries are a tasty addition to your school garden.
Here are a few resources that share more about the nutritional value and growing practices of strawberries:
- NCDA - A Visit to the Strawberry Patch Storybook
- NCDA - Strawberry Lessons
- NC Cooperative Extension - Strawberry Curriculum
- NCDPI - Strawberry Factsheet
Let us know how you highlight strawberries in your classroom, cafeteria, and community on social media (@F2SCoalitionNC on Facebook and Instagram).
