Farm to School in the News

There is a great AP article by Lisa Rathke in the news this week about the Farm to School program at Sharon Elementary School, and about the broader FTS movement in VT and around the nation.  Check it out.

And today, Michele  Obama’s Let’s Move initiative hit the wires, as she announced her ambitious campaign to combat childhood obesity.  Meanwhile, Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack says he’s encouraging schools to focus on community gardens and school gardens.

This national campaign ties in very well with Vermont’s Get Moving initiative and NH Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) as well as so many of our local efforts here in the Upper Valley.

OK – game on.
