Local Food Effort Coming to Viroqua Area SchoolsBy borges, Section School House
Hey it is almost time for school to start up again and the kids in Viroqua will not have to face the sameness of cafeteria food because there is a Farm-to-School project kicking off this Fall. It starts next week with the "5th Season Harvest School Lunch "Ratatouille" Cook-off." Adults can work early in the week cutting locally grown vegetables, and packing up the tasty food that will be served throughout the year. This is the spirit of the name 5th season, because food preparation and putting-up has historically been considered the 5th season. And it is a lot of work, so think about coming out to help the community on this new venture.
And then come taste the product Wednesday, August 27th at 5-8 pm in the Viroqua Elementary School and learn about this exciting program to expand the menu and support local farmers.
