Get Ready for October Farm to School Month!

Small Bites Adventure Club is proud to partner with Georgia Organics to celebrate October Farm to School Month.

October is Farm to School Month and schools and early care centers across Georgia are celebrating all things turnip! Turnip the Volume (Can you Dig it?) is a state-wide celebration to get kids eating, growing and participating in turnip-themed activities. To participate in Turnip the Volume at your school, early care center, or in your community, visit farmtoschool.georgiaorganics.org/turnip-the-volume and sign up. Participants will receive free electronic resources to help you plan and implement your activities.  Resources include standards-based lesson plans, quick activities, recipes, videos, school garden planting and harvesting information, and more!  

The first 300 people to sign-up will be mailed a free packet of turnip seeds, washable turnip tattoos, and a Georgia Planting and Harvest Calendar for school gardens. Share your Turnip the Volume pictures and activities on social media with #turnipthevolume. Each week during October, anyone who uses this hashtag will be entered to win a gift card and at the end of the month and we will have a grand prize winner at the end of the month! Questions? Visit farmtoschool.georgiaorganics.org/october-f2s-month  or email kimberlykoogler@georgiaorganics.org
