Kindergarden, first, and second graders from Root Elementary in Fayetteville tried slices of Stellar, Arkansas Black, and Granny Smith apples Tuesday morning and voted on their favorite kind during a event to celebrate National Farm to School Month. The event was the first of nine apple tastings at schools throughout the district. National Farm to School Month encourages a partnership between local farms and schools with the goal of improving healthy meals and nutrition in schools, increasing opportunities for health, nutrition and agriculture education and support for local farming.
