Put CT Grown On Your Tray

Put CT Grown On Your Tray works with School Food Service Directors to support them with ways to incorporate local produce into school meal programs.

Local farmers are our heroes!

Learn how to feature your local farmers and 

have them greet your students as a life-sized cardboard 

portrait in your school cafeteria. Change messages  on the 

tray by simply printing out your message on an 8.5”x 11”

paper and place in the tray area! Get creative!

Engage your students with fun posters that are sure to make them 

talk about local fruits and veggies! Display all four in your cafeteria or other eating areas. Use a sticker to add your own logo in the bottom right hand space provided. Pick up your own set of four or order your own. Click HERE for information.
