Hillsborough County Public Schools Student Nutrition Services has planned a meal completely sourced from Florida growers, producers, and manufacturers that we are featuring at all schools this Thursday, March 21. "Florida Food Day” is the first time the district is offering a menu that includes all components sourced from Florida in our schools.
This is a product of the work of the Hillsborough County Public School’s Farm to School Coalition. The coalition is hosting an event to see our Florida meal in action from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. The featured Florida menu is:
Chicken Empanadas (Sunsof Corp, Hialieah, FL)
Fresh Strawberries (Wish Farms, Plant City, FL)
Mexican Street Corn (R.C. Hatton, Pahokee, FL)
Milk (M&B Products, Temple Terrace, FL)
