Wauka Mountain students learn to eat local

0508food5
Ross McIntire, of Mountain Fresh Creamery, grabs a gallon of milk from the cooler on Monday afternoon at the Clermont creamery. Mountain Fresh Creamery is supplying low-fat milk for students all week at Wauka Mountain Multiple Intelligences Academy as part of the Georgia Department of Agriculture’s Feed my School for A Week pilot program.
Elementary students had the choice of Georgia-grown chicken thighs or cheesy nachos for lunch Monday. Most of them chose the chicken. That chicken lunch kicked off “Feed My School for a Week,” a collaboration between the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Department of Education to get locally grown products into school cafeterias.
