GET READY FOR FARM TO SCHOOL MONTH

Posted On: Oct 03, 11

October is National Farm to School Month! The National Farm to School Network along with Kokua Hawaii Foundation and the Hawai’i Farm to School & School Garden Hui are encouraging schools to participate by hosting a farmer or chef visit to campus. Typical classroom visits include a discussion of the speaker’s life and career path, what a typical day is like on the farm or in the restaurant, a food tasting or cooking demonstration, and question and answer time. For ideas on arranging farmer and classroom visits, along with farm field trips, see our Agricultural Literacy Partners List and Farm Field Trip Resource Guide at www.kokuahawaiifoundation.org/aina.
