York Harvest for New York Kids WeekEvery year, more and more schools throughout the state organize events for New York Harvest for New York Kids. This fun celebration is an opportunity for schools and communities to learn about New York agriculture, enjoy locally-grown foods, and inspire healthy food choices. Cafeterias feature NY farm products; classrooms do food-tastings; students visit farms and farmers’ markets, or harvest their school gardens.
