Farm to School Celebrates Tomatoes This September!
Farm to School programs connect students with fresh, locally grown foods while supporting the farmers who grow them. This September, we’re celebrating one of Ohio’s seasonal favorites!! The tomato!
Packed with vitamins A and C, tomatoes help boost immune health and support vision. Whether enjoyed fresh, roasted, or blended into sauces, they’re a flavorful and versatile addition to any meal.
Support Ohio’s farmers by choosing locally grown tomatoes from farmers markets, farm stands, or community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs. Buying local means enjoying peak freshness and flavor while strengthening our community and economy.
By bringing local produce into schools, Farm to School helps farmers grow their businesses, educates students about where their food comes from, and builds lasting connections between farms and families.
Let’s savor the season and show our appreciation for the hardworking farmers who nourish our communities!
