Heather Burgiss checks out the North Carolina Farm to School program that connects schools statewide with farmers as they try to change school lunches to locally sourced options. All school districts in North Carolina have the ability to be part of the initiative that now includes strawberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, several varieties of apples, slicing and grape tomatoes, sweet potatoes, red and green cabbage, and broccoli, apple slices, sweet potato sticks, and blueberrries that are locally grown on North Carolina farms.
