Wellness in Our Schools / Harvest of the Month

Each month, a different in-season and Wisconsin-grown food is chosen as the Harvest of the Month (HOM). The HOM will be featured on the school lunch menu and taste tests. The HOM is always nutritious and delicious, and a great way to celebrate local foods from around our state!
