On Thursday June 2nd,  Saskatchewan farm groups will provide a hot lunch to six schools in the province.

Spearheaded by Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan and Agriculture in the Classroom, the sponsored lunch and activities is designed to help students and teachers learn more about how food is produced.

The six schools are in Prince Albert, Regina, Yorkton, Lloydminster and Saskatoon and will receive a hot egg sandwich with bacon and cheese, along with a carton of milk, a granola bar and beef jerky snack.

As well, each student and teacher will get a Meals from the Farm bag that includes snacks, activities, pencils, recipes and seeds for the garden.

Farm and Food Care has also prepared a series of online lessons to help the public gain a basic understanding of some of the main sectors of agriculture in Saskatchewan.

There’s also an online farm trivia contest for participating schools to test their farm knowledge and win prizes for the classroom.
