For a week last year, students at Wauka Mountain Multiple Intelligences Academy were fed with Georgia-grown products through the “Feed My School for a Week” program. This year, the Georgia Department of Agriculture hopes to see more schools, like Wauka Mountain, jump on board the initiative. Last week, Commissioner Gary W. Black announced the department is accepting new applications for school districts interested in participating — a collaboration between the Agriculture Department and the Georgia Department of Education to get locally grown products into school cafeterias.
