Ravalli Head Start is participating in Montana Harvest of the Month!!
Each month, our preschool along with other participating centers, K-12 schools, and healthcare facilitates throughout Montana will showcase one locally or Montana grown or raised food by
a) serving it in a meal or snack,
b) offering taste tests to children, and
c) doing educational activities.
The two primary goals for this program are to expose students to new, healthy foods and to support Montana’s farmers and ranchers.
October Food of the Month
There are over 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the US, however only a handful of varieties are commonly found in grocery stores today. How many varieties have you tried?
The old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” certainly holds some truth! Apples are an excellent part of a healthy diet by providing fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and other nutrients. Potassium is an electrolyte that is essential to keep your heart beating! Bite into a Montana apple today!
Apple trees are a long-term investment. They can take multiple years to produce fruit after planting. However, they can live up to 100 years old, providing delicious lunchbox treats for generations. There are over 7,500 varieties of apples grown worldwide and 2,500 are grown in the US. However, only a handful of varieties are commonly found in grocery stores today.
