DNO Produce Celebrates Ohio Farm to School for the Great Apple Crunch

October was National Farm to School Month. DNO Produce celebrated with Ohio Farm to School for the Great Apple Crunch!

It’s a fun and educational way to promote healthy eating, support local farmers, and highlight the importance of local foods.

DNO encourages people to check out some local Ohio apple farms this season.

Also, potatoes are the focus of Ohio State University Extension’s Farm to School program.

Ohio potatoes are a versatile and nutritious crop enjoyed in schools, homes, and communities across the state. Grown by dedicated Ohio farmers, potatoes are harvested and stored to provide fresh, local food throughout much of the year. Packed with potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, potatoes help fuel growing bodies and can be prepared in many ways, from baked and mashed to roasted and added to soups. By choosing Ohio-grown potatoes, schools and families support local farmers, strengthen local food systems, and help children learn where their food comes from while enjoying delicious, locally grown meals.
