Happy National Farm to School Month!

It's October, and that means the start of National Farm to School Month!

 

Join the celebrations by taking the One Small Step Pledge. Pledge to take one small step to get informed, get involved and take action for farm to school in October and you'll be entered to win support for farm to school activities at the school or early care and education site of your choice! Take the pledge and find other opportunities to celebrate National Farm to School Month at farmtoschool.org.
