ATHENS — October is Farm-to-School Month, and this year’s theme is “Livin’ La Vida Okra.”
Farm-to-School Month, coordinated by Georgia Organics in partnership with University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, is “a statewide campaign to get kids across Georgia eating, growing and learning about a new fruit or vegetable.” Every year the Georgia Farm-to-School Alliance votes on which fruit or vegetable to highlight, and this year they have selected okra.
