October is National Farm to School Month, and more that 89 percent of Vermont schools take part in Farm to School programs, making Vermont the national leader in the Farm to School movement. By bringing locally grown food into our schools, these programs give students access to healthy foods, enhance agricultural education through school gardens and field trips, and support Vermont farms. I’m proud that Vermont has such a strong reputation on this front, and I look forward to supporting future opportunities that connect schools and students with the community around them.
