Golden Radish Award Recognizes School System’s Farm to School Efforts
The Fayette County School System has received its second consecutive Golden Radish Award for its farm to school achievements.
The award recognizes school systems for all aspects of farm to school initiatives from local food procurement to hosting taste tests and gardening with students.
Accomplishments that earned the school system the award at the silver level include hosting 16 student taste tests, arranging for students to visit farms or having farmers visit students at school a total of 15 times, and organizing 41 hands-on student cooking and food activities.
The Georgia Departments of Agriculture, Public Health, and Education, as well as Georgia Organics sponsor the Golden Radish Award. School systems were presented with their awards during a special ceremony at the Georgia State Capitol on October 24.
