The Riverview School District Food Services Department, in partnership with the Washington School Nutrition Association and the Washington State Department of Agriculture Farm-to-School Program, celebrated Washington agriculture Oct. 5 with Taste Washington Day.

School staff worked with local farmers to bring students a meal made with locally grown food from Oxbow Farm, Local Roots Farm, Goose & Gander Farm, Full Circle Farm, Tractor Farm, and Cherry Valley Dairy to feature what is grown here in the Valley.

The food was served on the salad bars at all schools during the lunch period.

FFA members from Cedarcrest High School participated by staffing the school cafeterias to promote agriculture and offer samples of locally grown produce to students.
