INFO FOR PARENTS
Child Nutrition Letter to Parents
November Nutrition Education, is a little different this month because it is more personal and Sequoyah Public School related. I am pleased to say that I was able to get a grant through Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. With this grant I was able to purchase a steer from one of our own FFA students. You will see on the secondary menu there are two days that include his name because the beef that will be served is from the steer that he raised, showed and sold to the Child Nutrition Program. We’re purchasing as local as we can, please try to do likewise. If anyone is interested in becoming a local vendor of fresh produce, milk, eggs or meat check out the ODAFF website.
Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry
The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry exists to protect, promote and regulate the agricultural resources of the state of Oklahoma. Under the guidance of the Oklahoma State Board of Agriculture, the department ensures food safety, protects herd health, fosters new markets for Oklahoma’s agricultural products, manages licensing and regulation and represents the agriculture industry on the Governor’s Cabinet.
Local Food for Schools Programs
Eating local food is tasty and nutritious but the benefits go far beyond savoring a juicy burger raised on the ranch down the road or crunching a carrot from our next-door neighbor. Purchasing food grown near us helps to expanding small to mid-size agriculture producers, shortens the supply chain and builds relationships. By purchasing fresh food, grown and raised by our neighbors, we help our communities grow and thrive. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry is dedicated to helping farmers and ranchers expand their market outlets while helping fresh, nutritious food land on consumer’s plates. https://ag.ok.gov/local-food-for-schools-program/ Thank you Clyde Tumbleweed Swisher! Enjoy the fruit of your labors!
