LUNCH DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE (APPLE) TREE
Eating local – the trendy byword in food circles – has found its way to Kentucky school cafeterias, with the help of a Kentucky Department of Agriculture program that links local growers with schools.
Two years ago, Bill Jackson of Jackson's Orchard started supplying schools with apples, later expanded to peaches, and has since helped find local suppliers for asparagus, blueberries and strawberries. Bowling Green Independent Schools also buys hydroponically grown lettuce and tomatoes from a local grower. (Story by Wayne Dominick, Kentucky School Advocate)
