Chesterfield County Public Schools -

Food and Nutrition Services and its summer farmers market lunch site recently won national recognition. Chesterfield County Public Schools was one of only 55 programs across the United States to achieve gold level status in the Turnip the Beet awards sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The awards honor summer meal programs that go the extra mile, and CCPS Food and Nutrition Services definitely does that by providing delicious, nutritious lunches at the Chesterfield Farmers Market. Each summer menu is planned with a child's palate in mind along with the goal of providing fresh items with pizzazz. For example, meals have included marinated sliced cucumbers, chilled corn salad, grilled zucchini, chunks of melon in a honey dressing, smoothies, etc.
