Cobb County School District’s Food and Nutrition Department is
working with Royal Food Service to bring Georgia grown fruits and
vegetables to the students of Cobb County.
Each month Cobb’s schools will highlight at least one Georgia
grown fresh fruit or vegetable in the cafeteria.
The district serves fresh fruits and vegetables daily that
are from farms in Georgia and the bordering states.
While fresh fruits and vegetables are available each day in
the cafeterias, the Food and Nutrition Department is excited about
the opportunity to highlight Georgia grown products and their
nutritional benefits. The
farm to school focus not only highlights the produce but also the
farm of origin.
This program continues to support
the department’s vision of linking nutrition to life long learning.
Local farms produced featured Georgia grown fruits and vegetables for our cafeterias this school year: Watermelon Apples Teenage Romaine and Bibb Lettuce Yellow and Zucchini Squash Carrots Sweet Potatoes Collards and Kale Recipes using Georgia Grown products. |
