October is Farm to Kids Month!

We celebrate Farm to Kids all year round, but October is Farm to Kids Month – a time to enjoy and celebrate local food in our schools, early care settings and communities. It’s also a time to share gratitude with those who make Farm to Kids possible including farmers, educators, nutrition professionals, and community members.

Stay tuned for our 2026 theme coming out soon!

Check out some great Farm to Kids books that you can read with your children!
