October is national farm to school month.

Community partners in the Northland have come together to bring the taste of local agriculture in to school cafeterias.  Today, students at Congdon Park Elementary School taste tested Harvest Quinoa Apple Salad, made with locally grown apples.

 “When kids are involved with growing the food and knowing where it’s grown from, research shows that they’re more likely to eat healthy foods and more of it,” said Renee Willensen of Congdon Park Elementary School.

The apples were incorporated into school lunches in nine area schools.
