There are new state investments in Connecticut’s CT Grown for CT Kids grant program. The funding supports the state’s Farm to School initiative, helping schools buy more locally grown food and expand food education. The announcement comes during National Farm to School Month. For more details, we spoke with Connecticut Agriculture Commissioner, Bryan Hurlburt.
