CCSD School Nutrition Earns Statewide Honor for Serving Locally Grown Food
The Cherokee County School Nutrition program has earned a statewide honor for serving locally grown food!
The Georgia Public School Local Food Procurement Champion Award, which was accepted on behalf of the department by Executive Director Tina Farmer, recognizes the Georgia school district with the most purchases from local farmers through the Common Market, a nonprofit regional food distributor.
The Common Market’s mission is to connect urban communities with local food from sustainable family farms. CCSD School Nutrition partnered with the nonprofit last school year to provide more Georgia grown produce to CCSD schools, including various varieties of local apples and lettuces.
Bill Green, executive director of the Common Market Southeast, presented the award to Ms. Farmer.
