SSCS is proud to once again participate in National Farm to School Month this October. This year’s theme, “Growing for the Future,” emphasizes the role of farm to school and early care in creating thriving communities now and in the future. All of our futures depend on the farmers who feed us, take care of our soil and waterways, and protect seeds for the next harvest—but their work often goes unseen and undervalued.
Farm to school ensures that young children and students eat healthy, fresh, and locally grown meals in schools, and that farmers earn a reliable source of income by feeding their community.
This fall our SSCS Food Services Department is featuring Farm to School vegetables and products including fresh lettuce, watermelon cabbage, tomatoes, and more. Thank you Parsons Farm and Cold Spring Farms for our fresh veggies. You’re the cream of the crop and we couldn’t do it without you!
