Welcome to October Farm to School Month 2020! We at Georgia Organics can’t wait to celebrate the wonderful turnip with you, our Farm to School family.
Let’s #TurnipTheVolume!! …Can you dig it?
If you haven’t signed up yet, don’t worry, you can still register at bit.ly/turnipthevolume throughout the month of October to receive our abundance of FREE resources and start planting today. And don’t forget, these resources are curriculum-based for in-school use, but they’re also perfect for parents looking to engage their children via at-home learning!
The pandemic has disrupted the learning and back-to-school rhythm for students across Georgia and our nation, increasing screen time and stress. We sincerely hope these resources provide students with time to get outside or get into the kitchen to engage with delicious, healthy, home-grown, and farm fresh foods!
Here are some examples of the available resources for Farm to School month, and, if you haven’t already, join us by registering at bit.ly/turnipthevolume! Below, you’ll also find details on our weekly webinars and weekly social media giveaways!
