📢October is Farm to School Month!

Each year, Crosby-Ironton Schools buy locally grown
vegetables, fruits, meats, and honey to serve to our students.
We believe in supporting our local farmers and their
contribution to our local economy. We source most of our
products through Sprout , a local food hub that works with
over 40 local producers. This year, to celebrate all their hard
work, we will be providing apples from Foothills Orchard in Little
Falls to each student at lunch on Thursday. We will also be
joining other schools all across the state in celebrating the
Great Minnesota Apple Crunch! 🍎
