" Pledge to participate in the Farm Fresh Challenge now!
"
October is coming fast and the time to pledge to join TDA for the Farm Fresh Challenge is now. All NSLP and CACFP operators are encouraged to Serve Local foods, Teach about Local agriculture, and Share which Local foods are being served on social media. We have new resources to help you achieve whichever tier you decide to strive for this year. Find the Success Guide, Word Games, new flashcards, and a tracking tool on SquareMeals.org/FarmFreshChallenge/Resources. The pledge form will be open until October 30, but remember to pledge by September 13th to receive promotional materials like "We Serve Local" buttons for staff, "Locally Grown" clings for your serving line, or "I Tried Local" stickers for your students. Let's make 2024 the most successful Farm Fresh Challenge year ever! Pledge now!
