When a five year old at a South Carolina Farm to Preschool Program Site was asked where the watermelon she was eating came from, she said it came from a farmer down the street and it’s so good! At the South Carolina Farm to Preschool Program, we know that the freshest and tastiest food available comes from local growers. We encourage you to purchase and serve locally grown produce at your child care program.
