On the menu today ... still a lunch favorite for the students at the Kohala Complex... the beef laulau plate. The meal is made with local beef wrapped in local luau and ti leaves, served with local sweet potato and lomi tomato (scallions in the lomi are local). #farmtoschool #f2s #hawaiif2s

Mahalo KITV for helping us share our message!
KITV reports how Lieutenant Governor Shan Tsutsui, The Kohala Center, Hawaii Department of Agriculture and the Hawaii State Department of Education are working together to increase the purchase of local food for school cafeterias by working with local farms. October is Farm-To-School Month! The celebration brings an awareness to the growing importance of farm to school programs as a means to improve child nutrition, encourage diverse careers in agriculture, support local economies, and educate children about the origins of food.
