What: The Department of Education is teaming up with Jackson-Madison County Schools and
Green Acres Berry Farm to host Farm to School Field Trips for school nutrition directors from
all over the western region of the state. The goals of the field trips are to educate school
nutrition professionals on opportunities for bringing farm-fresh food into school meals and
strengthen the connection between the school food world and farmers. These events are a
unique opportunity to highlight some really amazing farm to school happenings in the Jackson
area. The media is invited to attend either of these field trips. Media representatives attending
the Liberty Tech location must receive a visitors badge at the main office in order to attend.
