Join a network of fellow educators who are expanding food system literacy and nutrition education in New Hampshire! 4-H Farm to School Fellows (F2SF) use the Harvest of the Month curriculum to engage school students in grade K – 5 in food literacy and nutrition education that makes a lasting impact. Fellows also connect with peers through networking meetings, workshops, and presentation opportunities to broaden their own knowledge and support one another.
