What is CT Grown for CT Kids Week?
October is National Farm to School Month
CT Grown for CT Kids Week is an annual event happening every October in Connecticut. Scheduled the first full week in October, this week aims to celebrate and support local agriculture, public education and our community commitment to the importance of healthy nutritious meals in schools. Each year, legislators, food service directors, farmers and students gather together through farm to school activities and consumption of local products. Multiple organizations across the state support this effort to help their local schools bring CT Grown for CT Kids Week into classrooms and the home.
