ABOUT
THE PROGRAM
Minnesota Harvest of the Month (MN HOTM) celebrates an in-season, locally-grown food item each month in K-12 schools. It’s a free marketing program designed to promote the use of seasonally available, locally grown, raised and harvested products. It features marketing materials, local food items, and recipes to help food service staff use those products. Accompanying academic standards-based educational resources extend the program into K-12 classrooms.
The HOTM suggested calendar celebrates fifteen locally grown foods based on seasonality and Minnesota food traditions. Schools can follow the HOTM calendar or create their own.
Explore HOTM resources: recipes, K-12 lesson plans, and HOTM posters, stickers, and more!
