  • Harvest Of The Month

  • Island Grown Harvest of the Month is a program that highlights a locally available crop each month of the year in schools, libraries and the broader community. The goal is to help children, their caregivers and the community experience healthy, seasonal whole-foods based meals while supporting local and regional farmers. Each of our recipes have been created by local chefs and have been thoroughly enjoyed by Islanders.
