Crunch off with Missouri produce

Celebrate Farm to School Month in October by participating in the Missouri Crunch Off!

Gather your students, co-workers, community members and local food enthusiasts to crunch into a Missouri apple or any other locally grown produce during the month of October.

Missouri school districts and Early Childcare Education Centers can purchase their produce from a local farmer and receive reimbursement up to $1,000 with the Promoting Specialty Crops in Missouri Schools Grant Program. 

If you grow apples or other produce and are interested in selling in bulk to schools and groups participating in the Crunch Off, contact Lexi Jose at alexis.jose@mda.mo.gov.
