Kudos to our Governor this is a win - win for the state and our schools.
Back to school means school lunch, and 137 Iowa schools will now be able to purchase locally grown food for their cafeterias.
All 137 schools are receiving about $2000 from the state’s Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
The grants will be used to buy fresh meat, eggs, produce, and dairy from local farmers. It’s all part of Iowa’s Local Food for Schools program.
This latest and final round of grants will run through December.
