OnlineCollegePlan.Com Ranks Top College Farms for Farm to School Month
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Farm to Table movement has been sweeping the United States since the early 2000s. The effort strives to increase the use of locally grown and produced foods by seeking out producers directly, in order to get the freshest ingredients and champion local growers. Farm to School has a similar mission, and it also creates a more direct connection between school and community. October is Farm to School Month, a month dedicated to spreading awareness and celebrating the efforts of the student run farms at participating schools. OnlineCollegePlan takes us inside what Farm to School is truly about and then gives a lovely overview of all participating schools.
