Since the growing season and the school year don’t completely coincide, how can farm-to-school work in Oklahoma?
No one is suggesting that Oklahoma farmers can supply all the fresh fruits and vegetables schools use. We do not have the climate to grow some crops (oranges, for example) that schools want. But many other crops that schools use or could use are already grown commercially in the state and can be harvested in the spring or fall. Watermelons are a good example: Oklahoma is ranked twelfth nationally in watermelon production, but until recently the melons were not sold in large amounts to Oklahoma schools.
