What to Expect

You will:

  • Incorporate the Harvest of the Month program into my classroom lessons at least once per month either by creating my own lesson around a Harvest of the Month crop, using the Mass. Farm to School provided lessons, and/or featuring the crop for taste tests, sharing information on a bulletin board, or other means.
  • Utilize classroom materials including the Harvest of the Month posters and trading cards each month.
  • Share your experience with Mass. Farm to School and our community.

We (Mass. Farm to School) will:

  • Mail Harvest of the Month materials (8.5×11 posters and trading cards for each featured crop) for display and distribution in your classroom.
  • Send monthly e-newsletter with activity ideas, lesson plans, book recommendations, family newsletters, and more.
  • Provide access to additional resources for curricular & garden connections and at-home activities, social media post templates,  home-scaled recipes, taste testing activities, and more.
