Dacula High Picked for Georgia Grown Test Kitchen Initiative

Dacula High School has been selected by the Georgia Agriculture Department to participate in the Georgia Grown Test Kitchen initiative.

This new program will promote local and healthy eating in schools across the state through supplying school nutrition directors with healthy recipes using Georgia Grown commodities.

The Georgia Grown Test Kitchen, along with the Feed My School for a Week Program, will help bridge the gap in the nutritional value and quality of food served in Georgia schools, while providing more farm to cafeteria
opportunities.

The end result will be healthier Georgia students, decreased barriers in farm to school efforts and increased awareness as students learn and experience, both educationally and nutritionally, where their food comes from.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture will supply the schools with recipes using Georgia Grown Commodities.

The participating schools will provide feedback on the recipes. The selected schools will also participate in other Georgia Grown activities throughout the year.
