Farm to School in collaboration with partner organizations (Manitoba Healthy Food in Schools; Nutrition for Early Learning and Child Care; Dairy Farmers of Manitoba, Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba and Northern Regional Health Authority) held a contest for schools and licensed daycares to win a chance to host a Great Big Crunch event at their facility.
Representatives from the collaborating organizations attended and hosted events at both Clifton School and S.P.L.A.S.H. Child Care Inc. located in Winnipeg. Carrots were provided by Farm to School Manitoba and partner organizations and were distributed to all students and staff to take part in a “synchronized crunch” by biting their carrots all at the same time.
