FARM-TO-SCHOOL WEEK WITH RICHMOND COUNTY SCHOOLS

FARM-TO-SCHOOL WEEK WITH RICHMOND COUNTY SCHOOLS
We were THRILLED when Arielle Weekly, nutrition educator for Richmond County Board of Education, called us up and said: “We got the Feed My School grant!” These federal funds allowed her and her colleagues to launch a full week of farm-to-school activities at a South Augusta elementary … with plans to do two more over three years.
What an honor it was for Augusta Locally Grown to be there – among fellow good food educators and farmers – to help teach our younger generation about the healthy, delicious goodness of locally grown, seasonal foods.
