Farm to Preschool: Harvest of the Month
Program
The Farm-to-Preschool project represents an ongoing effort to
promote healthy, fresh food access and improve preschoolers' eating
habits. The Initiative and its partners (Occidental College
Urban & Environmental Policy Institute, YMCA Childcare Resource
Service and North County Community Services) have established these
efforts locally.

This specially-adapted version of Harvest of the Month (HOM)
provides teachers with a variety of lessons and activities to build
young learners' (ages 2-5) healthy eating habits. The HOM
curriculum takes preschoolers on a "journey" to meet farmers and
learn about local agriculture, explore the multiple benefits of
fresh fruits and vegetables, and sample the fruits of California's
bountiful harvest.
