The Great Apple Crunch is a fun way to connect food and agriculture while encouraging healthy eating and supporting local food-purchasing initiatives! 🍎🍏
23 Carlisle 4th graders got to sample three different apple varieties, Gala, Granny Smith, and Golden Delicious, and vote for their favorite. While all three varieties had their fans, the Gala apple took the top spot!
Each October, the Indiana Department of Education and Purdue University Extension partner to bring “The Crunch Heard Around the State!” to life, celebrating apples, healthy eating, and the importance of connecting students with the food they eat.
