Harvest of the Month
Harvest of the Month provides lessons and activities for students, families, and the community to engage in hands-on opportunities to explore, taste, and learn about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables and being active every day.
Harvest of the Month aims to:
- Increase access to fruits and vegetables through school meal programs, farm to school programs, classroom lessons, school gardens, and other community-based locations.
- Increase students’ preference for fruits and vegetables.
- Increase consumption of locally grown food items by connecting growers to their communities through schools.
- Increase daily physical activity and understand why it is important.
- Expand familiarity with California grown fruits and vegetables, local farmers, and how food travels from the farm to our plates.
