From Farm to School

Did you know that Belmont Public Schools are serving locally grown food this week? Public School cafeterias statewide are participating in the Mass. Harvest for Students Week by purchasing, serving, and highlighting locally grown food. According to the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, "there are about 100 public school districts, private schools, and colleges in the Commonwealth serving local food, over half of which have received assistance from the Mass. Farm to School Project." To see how Belmont Public Schools are participating in this project, look for "Farm to School" food listed in the school menus from Sept. 21st through Sept. 25th.
