Today schools that qualified for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program received locally sourced pumpkins. The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a federally assisted program providing free fresh fruits and vegetables to children at eligible elementary schools. The goal of the FFVP is to introduce children to fresh fruits and vegetables, to include new and different varieties, and to increase overall acceptance and consumption of fresh, unprocessed produce among children. The FFVP also encourages healthier school environments by promoting nutrition education. Students at these schools were provided with an educational handout and will learn how to roast their own pumpkin seeds! Let's thank our local farmers, Mr. Wallbrown and Mr. Foglesong, for making this possible and to celebrate National Farm to School Month. #farmtoschool
