What’s for lunch, Michigan?

Today, we share a tray from Plymouth-Canton Community Schools in Wayne County.

What makes this tray so wonderful?

A Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich made with a warm, soft whole grain roll piled with seasoned Philly beef, melty cheese, sautéed onions and peppers, finished with a bright pop of tangy banana peppers for that zippy kick. Crunchy baby carrots, pears, fresh orange wedges and chilled 1% milk finish out the meal.

We thank the team at Plymouth-Canton Community Schools for serving your students great school lunches!

A win-win-win for Michigan citizens, farmers, and local food distributors: The findings from the evaluation survey of the Michigan Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) program demonstrate that investments in local supply chains can provide beneficial impacts for Michigan farmers and communities.
