Harvest of the Month Sign Templates Harvest of the Month is a farm to school model for promoting Washington or locally grown menu items in school meal programs. Before the school year starts, schools decide on a rotation of seasonal items to feature in each month. Then they buy the specific Washington or locally grown crop or product each month, highlight it on menus and serve it in school meals. Some schools buy their Harvest of the Month item directly from farmers; others buy a Washington grown product from their distributor. Some schools may serve the Harvest of the Month product just once during the month. Others may put it on the menu every week during the month. Schools highlight the product on menus, promote the farm producers to students and parents, and do other educational activities about the Harvest of the Month. How to use this sign templates Find the crop you wish to highlight.
